In 2012 Helen Schneider will present a new show.
t 29. March 2012
Following her great success playing the American country legend, June Carter, in the theater piece “Hello My Name is Johnny Cash”, Helen will incorporate this genre into her already eclectic mix of jazz, pop, and blues.
Together with her trio: Mini Schulz on bass, Jo Ambros on guitar, and Obi Jenne on drums, Helen will bring to her audience American standard country favorites like: Ring of Fire, Tall Lover Man, the L&N; and taken from the Johnny Cash/June Carter duets – the classic Help Me Make it Through the Night – reinterpreted in this quartet’s singular style.
Mixing of genres is something Helen Schneider has been known for in the past. In her new show she will continue this trend…
Helen will also reach into her past and bring her audience the powerful music from the incredible singer-songwriters of the 1960’s… including such classics as Bridge Over Troubled Water, Bird on a Wire, Both Sides Now, and more from Joni Mitchell, Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. Also reexamined, they become a powerful foil for the country folk melodies which were the root of the folk pop music of this remarkable decade.
Another evening of exciting interpretations from this multi-faceted American singer.
