Singer, comedian, actress, and musician Nellie McKay travels to a land of strange and wonderful music on her sixth and latest album, My Weekly Reader, revisiting some of the melodies of the 1960s.

Nellie covers songs from the era of political turmoil and creative delight by Zappa, Ray Davies, Steve Miller, Country Joe McDonald, and more. The New Yorker has warily described Nellie as “funny and touching, ceaselessly clever and scarily talented.” In addition to charming audiences with her sweet voice and scathingly funny lyrics, she’s appeared in an extended run in the award-winning off-Broadway hit Old Hats for which she was also the musical director.
