GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD PLUCK
TIX: https://cur8.com/18134/project/134131
Don’t miss a genre-defying night of original music and wickedly sharp wit as Amy Engelhardt and Erin Hill share the stage for a special double bill at Pangea NYC on Sunday October 19th . It’s appropriately titled: “Good Night and Good Pluck.”
A veteran of stages from Lincoln Center to LA’s Largo to The Barns of Wolf Trap, Amy Engelhardt (composer/lyricist and former member of Grammy-noms The Bobs) brings her fiercely funny, emotionally fearless songwriting and vocals back to Pangea’s grand piano. Put John Forster, Ben Folds, Jill Sobule and Tom Lehrer in a blender, then hit puree.
Sharing the bill is Erin Hill, a harp-playing powerhouse whose résumé includes Kanye West, Cyndi Lauper, the Fab Faux, Game of Thrones and her own sci-fi-inspired pop albums. With her electric harp, soaring voice, and unpredictable setlists, Erin turns every performance into a spellbinding ride through time, space, and genre.
“Good Night and Good Pluck” is what happens when two musical mischief-makers share a stage. Expect original songs, unexpected covers, wild stories, and the kind of musicianship that leaves audiences grinning.
