Nellie McKay
This song, Wild Romantic Blues, is from the HBO series “Boardwalk Empire.” Ms. McKay is a 30 year old singer who performs this hot number with Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks. She was born in London, but she grew up in the US. She records for Columbia Records. PG
Vince: Thank you for visiting our site and sharing some information about Nellie McKay. I am a big fan of yours. (—saw you once at the JCC in Deal; loved the show) and now especially of the Boardwalk Empire soundtrack. It is amazing. We have posted a number of songs from that Emmy-winning work. (Don’t worry—I bought the album and it’s just for our music fans in the Grove.)
This blog comes from Ocean Grove, NJ, and I know that there are a group of folks from town who travel regularly into the city to hear you perform at Sofia’s. Paul (Goldfinger) from http://www.Blogfinger.net
Nellie is a great singer and a blast to work with! I’ve backed her up at Feinstein’s (NYC) and the tracks for Boardwalk Empire. Sometimes she comes and sits in with us at Sofia’s [NYC] on a Monday or Tues nite. …Vince Giordano [Nighthawks Orchestra]
