American Songbook 2006-2007 Season

Lincoln Center’s acclaimed series American Songbook returns for its ninth season celebrating the diversity and breadth of American popular song. For 18 nights of cabaret, folk, pop, country, rock, and bluegrass, the series explores the best of the golden age of musical standards and today’s most dynamic contemporary songwriting. This season continues the tradition of presenting some of today’s most innovative singer-songwriters, from a variety of genres, who are expanding the American songbook in their own unique ways.

All performances are in the Allen Room of Frederick P. Rose Hall.
