Cabaret at the Workshop: Carolyn German

With all the spark, wit, and snap that are hallmarks of her performances, vocalist and composer Carolyn German debuts a clever new cabaret, "SongSplaining! ~ Musical Enlightenment about Love, Politics, & Practical Shoes".

German captures both the hilarious and the humble nuances of the everyday with her unexpected and delightful musical choices. Showcasing her unique song-styling and flair for comedy, "SongSplaining!" includes tunes ranging from bold parodies to tender ballads, and all are impeccably accompanied by vocalist/pianist Megan Santi.

Carolyn German has been a performing-arts professional for over 35 years, having worked as an vocalist, actor, director, lyricist, producer, playwright, composer and guest speaker. Her stage performance credits span from Off-Broadway to regional tours, and include DCs prestigious Studio Theater, and over 25 projects with Tennessee Repertory Theater.

In her intricately-crafted cabaret performances Carolyn blends new material with standards, comedic tour-de-forces and tender ballads. She has brought her vocal artistry to cabarets in a wide variety of venues, from the Millford Plaza in New York City, to cruise ships in the Gulf of Mexico, to the Smithsonians Museum of American History.

Carolyn is a founding member of the Spontaneous Comedy Company, she works with the corporate sector to improve creativity and communication skills in the workplace, and she has recently published the Vocal Selections to her musical revue "Go From Here".

The Cabaret at the Workshop series made its debut in the summer of 2015 as the Jazz Workshop's newest offering, a performance series showcasing the art of cabaret and drawing on the Workshop's rich vocal offerings devoted to the American Popular Song.
