Melissa Manchester performing at Lannie’s Clocktower Cabaret

Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter Melissa Manchester will appear at Lannie’s Clocktower Cabaret for two performances each night at 6 and 8:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The club is located in the historic D&F Clock Tower at 1601 Arapahoe St. Tickets are $35.

Manchester is one of popular American music’s most enduring artists. She started her career singing in the clubs of New York, and from there went on to sing backup for Bette Midler as one of her famous “Harlettes.” Six months later, Manchester had her own recording contract. She is perhaps best known for her songs, “Midnight Blue,” “Through the Eyes of Love,” and “Don’t Cry Out Loud.” She won the Grammy Award in 1982 for Best Female Vocalist.

Melissa’s newest album, “You Gotta Love The Life” (2015) features Keb’ Mo’, Dionne Warwick and Stevie Wonder. The album blends the classic American songbook with jazz, ballads and samba. Manchester’s extensive songwriting credits include the radio classic “Whenever I call You Friend” that she co-wrote with Kenny Loggins. Her songs have been recorded by Roberta Flack, Dusty Springfield, Alison Krauss, Stevie Nicks, Loggins and Barbra Streisand, among others.

Manchester has written songs for major movies made for the Walt Disney Studios, independent pictures and Tyler Perry.

Lannie’s Clocktower Cabaret is located in the historic D&F Clock Tower building on the corner of the 16th Street Mall and Arapahoe Street in downtown Denver. Tickets can be purchased at the box office at 303-293-0075 or online at www.Lannies.com.
