Bicoastal entertainer Carly Ozard, a lifelong musical theater enthusiast, is proud to be releasing her new CD Chain of Love (A Broadway Album) - Ozard’s newest that celebrates the singer’s deep love for showtunes - from classics, unknowns and fiascos. Featuring rarely-heard gems like "Chain of Love" from The Grass Harp (a 1971 musical that ran just 7 performances based on Truman Capote’s novel), the album showcases works by legendary composers including Kander and Ebb, Stephen Sondheim, Jerry Herman, Irving Berlin, and Charles Strouse. A number of songs are reimagined with new arrangements by Ozard herself. Each track is paired with personal stories from her life in NY and San Francisco, including encounters with Broadway stars and casting directors. The album also highlights vocal talents from the Bay Area’s Lamplighters Music Theater (now in its 78rd year performing Gilbert & Sullivan titles) in duets, trios, and including a full ensemble number. It's a heartfelt tribute to musical theater and an invitation to become a link in the "Chain of Love." The show runs 70 min., - no intermission. CD’s will be available for sale - physical and downloadable.
Musicians Baker Peeples- piano; Daniel Fabricant - bass; Jerry Herrera -cajon; Baker Peeples II- Violin.
