Spero Plays Nyro, The music of Laura Nyro by the Christine Spero Group
In the new, one-of-a-kind show, "Spero Plays Nyro," the Christine Spero Group maintains the integrity of Laura Nyro's music while infusing it with their own unique personality. Christine has loved Laura's music from a young age when she was given Eli and the Thirteenth Confession by a radio DJ friend. She was inspired by Laura's music to be bold in writing, singing, and playing piano. Laura Nyro was the quintessential singer/songwriter and pianist whose groundbreaking music crossed the genres of folk, rock, and jazz. She became one of the most covered artists in the 1960's and 1970's with such songs as "Eli's Coming," "Stoned Soul Picnic," "Wedding Bell Blues," and "Sweet Blindness." Her tragically premature passing in 1997 shocked her fans and in 2012 she was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame.
