Under the lonesome cry of the midnight train, stars twinkling over hillbilly lights in the mountain fog, Nellie McKay returns
with her new album, Hey Guys, Watch This. Recorded in Charleston, West Virginia with The Carpenter Ants—Michael
Lipton, Ted Harrison, Jupie Little, and Mark Bates—and a roving retinue of musical compadres, Hey Guys, Watch This
traces the haunted sounds of Appalachia through lush sonic textures.
So unpack your washtub bass, fill up your red cup, and pull on your shitkickers—’cos the night is young and the moon is
bright, even if we’re not. Hey Guys, Watch This will be available on CD and for the first time as an LP, with updated
artwork and remastering by multiple Grammy winner Michael Graves. ABOUT NELLIE McKAY Nellie has produced an
array of wildly varying albums, including her groundbreaking 2004 debut Get Away From Me and Normal as Blueberry
Pie: A Tribute To Doris Day (“among the killer overhauls of American standards”—The New York Times).
On Obligatory Villagers (2007), local Poconos hometown jazz greats Bob Dorough, Phil Woods, and David Liebman
contribute their exceptional talents, and McKay’s album of saloon songs, Sister Orchid, speaks of the night, the outsider,
the plaintive wail of those lost at sea. (The Star-Tribune calls Sister Orchid the most lonely, romantic album imaginable.”)
Her TV appearances include David Letterman, Conan O’Brien, Craig Ferguson and The View, and her music has been
heard on Mad Men, Weeds, Boardwalk Empire, Grey’s Anatomy, NCIS, and Nurse Jackie.
Nellie has earned an Ovation nomination for her work as composer/performer in Ethan Coen’s A Play Is A Poem and won
a Theatre World Award for her portrayal of Polly Peachum on Broadway in The Threepenny Opera. McKay co-created
and starred in the award-winning off-Broadway hit Old Hats and has written and produced three acclaimed musical
biographies—I Want to Live!, the story of Barbara Graham, third woman executed in the gas chamber at San Quentin, Silent Spring: It’s Not Nice To Fool Mother Nature, an exploration of environmental pioneer Rachel Carson, and A Girl
Named Bill—The Life and Times Of Billy Tipton, named one of the year’s Best Concerts by The New York Times. A
recipient of PETA’s Humanitarian Award and the Humane Society’s Doris Day Music Award in recognition of her
dedication to animal rights, Nellie is an annoyingly vocal critic of capitalism, endless wars, and the two-party system that
sustains them, and, oh who gives a shit.
