Enchanté...

Atlantic Canada's Sultry Songstress, Karen Myatt, kick-starts her solo musical career with style and swagger on June 2 at The Carleton Music Bar & Grill in Halifax.

Backed by a trio of renowned local musicians - David Langstroth (bass), Holly Arsenault (piano) and Stephanie McKeown (percussion) - Myatt will perform two sets of smooth, smokey songbook selections.

"This will be an enchanting evening of classic and contemporary standards," says the vocalist, who has received popular and critical acclaim for her work in New York, Toronto, Montreal, and in Halifax with Neptune Theatre, TAG and her own production Broadway Without Borders.

"Fans of Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Edith Piaf, Peggy Lee and Blossom Dearie will be delighted," promises Myatt. "We'll be showcasing several newer pieces as well, a few surprises."

Several surprise special guests will be joining the twenty-something singer on stage at The Carleton.

"I'm not spilling the beans," she smiles slyly, "You'll have to check out the show and see for yourself."

Tickets for the June 2, 8pm performance are $10 and are available at the door on the night of the show or in advance at www.thecarleton.ca
