Hearing Debbie Lesser sing is like opening a bottle
of champagne for the first time. It is the anticipation of how she
will linger lovingly with a note or let it fly that makes her at once
both dangerously unpredictable and sweetly intimate. Nestled between
lyrical "pops!" and sexy bubbles, the vocalist flavors her delivery
with emotional nuances that tell stories of loss, longing and pure
exhilaration. Debbie's gift is that she can take a song from big and
brassy to achingly vulnerable in the beat of a breath. The entire
experience is thoroughly intoxicating. It is this richly textured
interpretation that makes the singer a cabaret favorite and her debut
album "Let's Misbehave" a wonderland.
Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Debbie was weaned
on a steady diet of music that included everything from 1930s and
1940s swing and jazz to hits of the 1960s. She credits her parents
for her passion for great music.
Debbie's choice of songs on her CD, "Let's Misbehave"
reflects her appreciation of classic and modern American standards.
Cole Porter and George Gershwin come together with the likes of Burt
Bacharach, Hal David and Stephen Sondheim. Oscar Hammerstein blends
magically into her repertoire with Ray Charles and Van Morrison.
Ms. Lesser and David Brunetti, her Musical Director
of eight years, share similar musical tastes, among them a fondness
for Stephen Sondheim. They pair "Take Me to the World" with "Being
Alive" in this show. Other selections include "I Can Cook Too", "The
Very Thought of You", "Let's Misbehave", and a personal favorite "It
Makes My Love Come Down" a naughty novelty song originally sung by
Bessie Smith. Since the Show is being performed in December, Lesser
has added several musical holiday "treats" along the way.
