Celia Berk has just released her first solo album, YOU CAN’T RUSH SPRING, arranged and conducted by Alex Rybeck and co-produced by Tony award-winning sound designer Scott Lehrer. It is available on iTunes and CD Baby, and is being played on radio stations around the world. The album has attracted attention from some of the most prominent proponents of The Great American Songbook. Michael Feinstein said, “I so enjoy Celia’s beautiful vocal sound and style, and her taste in song choices.” Rex Reed called her “One of the best singers I’ve heard in a long time”, Jonathan Schwartz added a selection to his playlist and Amanda McBroom described Celia’s style as “Splendid, unique and wonderful. Celia delivers the message and heart behind each song with velvet intelligence.” In addition to recording, Celia frequently appears in and around New York, often under the auspices of Broadway Concerts Direct. Together with Rich Flanders, she also performs DOUBLE STANDARDS, a program of duets and personal favorites. Celia makes her solo cabaret debut at The Metropolitan Room in New York City on November 23, November 30 and December 6, 2014.
