The Wall Street Journal said of her Stockport to Memphis album “every singer in New York could leaner from her”. Acclaimed on three continents and an international recording artist, Barb Jungr’s capacity to inspire,thrill and amaze is not to be missed. On all shows Jungr is accompanied by virutoso musicians Simon Wallace on piano and Neville Malcolm on double bass.

Barb Jungr sings The New American Songbook - The Men I Love - the thrilling Naim CD collection of New American classic songs.Jungr named the New American songbook identifying the superb songwriting talents of post Great American Songbook writers and makes the case for a new chapter in the American songbook. This show premiered at NYC’s prestigious Cafe Carlyle.
