Newport Live Presents A Special Evening with Nellie McKay at Belmont Chapel in Newport, RI on Friday, September 18

Nellie McKay has released nine albums; won a Theatre World Award for her work on Broadway; co-created and starred in an award-winning off-Broadway hit; and has written three acclaimed musical biographies.

Nellie’s music has been heard on Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire, Weeds, and Grey’s Anatomy, among others. She has appeared on TV shows including The Late Show with David Letterman, Conan, Ferguson, and The View and radio, such as NPR’s Mountain Stage.

Newport Live Executive Director, Dick Lynn, offers, “Nellie McKay is incredibly engaging and talented; she played for Newport Live once and sold out. Since the Belmont Chapel offers a very unique venue and an intimate concert experience of 50 seats, we anticipate the tickets going very quickly.”
