American Songbook Today -a 501(c)(3) non-profit - will present NYCs concert star, Marissa Mulder, in her multi award-winning show Tom Waits: In His Own Words, a celebration of his songs, wit, and wisdom Monday, Sept 24th, 7PM at Nighttown. Tom Waits wrote hits for Bette Midler (Rainbow Sleeves and I Never Talk to Strangers), Bruce Springsteen (Jersey Girl), The Eagles (Ol 55), etc.. Also known for his frequent appearance on the David Letterman Show. Ms. Mulder has appeared at Café Carlyle, Birdland, Carnegie Hall, 54 Below, Joes Pub, Lincoln Center, Metropolitan Room, and Town Hall. Stephen Holden, the New York Times revered critic recently wrote Marissa Mulder is a natural: a rarity among cabaret singers. You never hear her struggling to tell a story or to make a point or to show off the range and beauty of her sparkling, perfectly pitched soprano. Whatever she sings seems to just spill out of her without forethought or calculation. She is the winner of several MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets) Awards and Bistro Awards in NYC.
