PITTSBURGH CULTURAL TRUST PRESENTS
AWARD-WINNING VOCALIST AND BROADWAY PERFORMER
LINDA EDER

AS PART OF THE TRUST CABARET SERIES
SERIES TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12!
MONDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2014 | 7:30 p.m. | CABARET AT THEATER SQUARE

Pittsburgh, PA— The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust presents one of the greatest contemporary voices of our time, Linda Eder, at the Cabaret at Theater Square, 655 Penn Avenue, on Monday, October 6, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. This performance is part of the TRUST Cabaret Series, presented by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. This series provides a unique and intimate opportunity for audiences to experience the finest cabaret acts in the entertainment industry.

Linda Eder’s diverse repertoire spans Broadway, standards, pop, country, and jazz. As the tragic character “Lucy” in the Broadway musical JEKYLL & HYDE, from composer Frank Wildhorn, Eder blew the roof off of New York’s Plymouth Theatre each night as she belted out signature songs “Someone Like You” and “A New Life.”  Ms. Eder was rewarded with a Drama Desk nomination for her Broadway debut.

Born in Tucson, Arizona, and raised in Brainerd, Minnesota, Linda Eder began her career singing in her home state and eventually landed a gig at Harrah’s Casino in Atlantic City. But it was her appearances on the 1987 season of Star Search, where she won for an unprecedented 12 weeks, which attracted the attention of audiences and record companies alike. Ms. Eder launched her recording career in 1991 with her self-titled debut album and soon established a vital niche as America’s most popular and acclaimed new interpreter of pop standards and theatrical songs with 15 solo albums and 12 musical recordings.

Linda Eder has performed at many prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall, The Town Hall, The Kennedy Center, Davies Hall, Radio City Music Hall, Wolftrap and the Ravinia Festival. Always touring in good company, her collaborations include the late Oscar-winning composer and pianist Marvin Hamlisch, Tony-winner Michael Feinstein and Keith Lockhart, conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra.

About The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust

The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has overseen one of Pittsburgh’s most historic transformations: turning a seedy red-light district into a magnet destination for arts lovers, residents, visitors, and business owners. Founded in 1984, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a non-profit arts organization whose mission is the cultural and economic revitalization of a 14-block arts and entertainment/residential neighborhood called the Cultural District. The District is one of the country’s largest land masses “curated” by a single nonprofit arts organization. A major catalytic force in the city, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a unique model of how public-private partnerships can reinvent a city with authenticity, innovation and creativity. Using the arts as an economic catalyst, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has holistically created a world-renowned Cultural District that is revitalizing the city, improving the regional economy and enhancing Pittsburgh’s quality of life. Thanks to the support of foundations, corporations, government agencies and thousands of private citizens, the Trust stands as a national model of urban redevelopment through the arts.

About Silver Days Charcoal Nights

Virginia-born (Carolina-honed) vocalist JESSICA LEE possesses the essential quality that makes jazz and blues lyrics utterly compelling: a soulful voice with a soulful personality dedicated to a soulful approach to her craft.  The first time I listened to Jessica, in Pittsburgh at one of her many weekly gigs, I discovered how honest her lyrical  energy truly is.  Each time, from that moment on, Jessica's radiance seems more and more beguiling. She is that "real" thing . . . a jazz singer whose blues-saturated feeling creates immediate happiness and friends for life.

Guitarist extraordinaire MARK STRICKLAND is a bulwark of taste, chops and sensitivity throughout this duo album's delicate and cheerful musical exchanges. Recently I was pleased to learn, from several of the legendary Tom Harrell's New York musicians, how highly they hold Mark's exquisite work.
