Cabaret Singer's 'Shining Hour'

Weslia Whitfield, dubbed by The New Yorker the most assured and affecting jazz-cabaret singer to arrive in New York in many years, will appear at the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor on Saturday at 7 p.m.

Accompanied by the pianist and arranger Mike Greensill, she will present an evening of cabaret called "My Shining Hour."

Often described as a singer's singer, Ms. Whitfield has won critical acclaim all over the country, including New York's Algonquin Hotel, and particularly in her regular spot at the Plush Room in San Francisco's York Hotel.

According to the theater, she makes a refreshing choice of standards, alternating between audience favorites and lesser-known surprises, and often unearths long-forgotten verses.

Tickets are available from the theater's box office on Long Wharf.
