Barb Jungr - Love Me Tender - the Songs of Elvis Presley

Dave Mauchline presents Barb Jungr - Love Me Tender - the Songs of Elvis Presley On 17 October Barb appears with Jenny Carr on piano and Dudley Philips on double bass with her collection of Elvis songs completely refashioned. Audacious and dark, Jungr re-imagined the Deep South with her extraordinary arrangements of songs such as Love Me Tender, Kentucky Rain, In The Ghetto and Always on My Mind. Jungr’s notable album releases include Woman – Hymn To Nina (featuring the repertoire of Nina Simone) which brought her critical acclaim and rave reviews, and her most recently released CD Hard Rain, which has won the Broadway World Award for best Cabaret CD 2014 alongside garnering four and five-star reviews worldwide. Jungr is shortlisted as Best Vocalist by the London Cabaret Awards 2015 and for best celebrity vocalist in the Manhattan Association of Cabaret Awards 2015. “Presley’s lush sentimentality goes out of the window - in its place is an art-song sensibility tinged with cultured R&B.” The Sunday Times “…these covers are amazing. I just wish Barb was gigging over here, maybe at the Green Mill in Chicago… I dream big!” Audiophile Edition.
