Shepley Metcalf:  Going Places 

 
Described by The Boston Globe as the "superb cabaret/jazz singer and her ace piano accompanist," Shepley Metcalf and Ron Roy return to the Metropolitan Room with a new show, GOING PLACES, a tour from Rhode Island to the Riviera, and beyond, via song.  The duo will take you from London to New York to New Orleans, and from heartache to hilarity, with music by Joni Mitchell, Johnny Mercer, Stephen Sondheim, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Cole Porter, and other terrific songwriters.  GOING PLACES explores travel in all its guises...and journeys by plane, by train, and by automobile. 
 
Metcalf and Roy presented “The Songs of Fran Landesman + Simon Wallace” at the Metropolitan Room in 2010.  The show earned a favorable New York Times review, and their album of these songs garnered a four-star/excellent rating from Britain’s top jazz magazine, JazzWise.  In 2013 Shepley released “The Songs of Laura Nyro,” an 8-song album recorded live at the Metropolitan Room with Janice Friedman on piano, Jim Whitney on bass, and Willard Dyson on drums.  And last fall Metcalf and Roy celebrated their new album, “Don’t Bother to Knock,” little-known gems unearthed from the Great American Songbook, at – where else? – the Metropolitan Room.  Reviewing that show, Stage Buddy wrote “possessing a velvety voice with a ragged edge…Ms. Metcalf is musically joined at the hip with her one-man band, extraordinary pianist and arranger Ron Roy.”  Roy is on the faculty at The Boston Conservatory and at The Tuscany Project, a vocal workshop held each summer in Italy.  He and Metcalf met at The Tuscany Project (she was a student), and the Boston-based duo have performed together since 2008.  
 
 “Her achingly beautiful interpretation of Cole Porter’s “Who Said Gai Paree?,” a song cut from his musical Can-Can and only recorded by Cole himself, was given an equally heartbreaking arrangement by Mr. Roy, who wove in strains of the familiar “I Love Paris.”  Stage Buddy
