Tony Award Nominee Melissa Errico Talks New 2026 Album I Can Dream, Can’t I?

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series featuring Tony Award® nominated actress, singer, and writer Melissa Errico. In this spirited conversation, Melissa joins us to discuss her 2026 album I Can Dream, Can’t I? — a deeply personal and revealing project created with pianist Tedd Firth, one of New York’s most intuitive accompanists. Together, they explore a quieter lineage of the American Songbook, focusing on songs that ask questions rather than make bold declarations. Melissa performs each piece like an interior soliloquy, uncovering the emotional subtext within the work of Cy Coleman, Jerome Kern, Duke Ellington, Rodgers & Hart, and Joni Mitchell. The album weaves together her gifts for storytelling, curiosity, and emotional nuance, offering a reflective lens on creativity and expression in 2026 America. Rather than leaning into bombastic standards, I Can Dream, Can’t I? reveals the Songbook’s most powerful moments as intimate, inward, and quietly searching. 🎶 Get the album:https://melissaerrico.com/music/albums/i-can-dream-cant-i/ For More Neon Jazz: Shows via MixCloud: https://www.mixcloud.com/neonjazzkc/Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/user/neonjazzkcSubscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-joe-dimino/id546432639?mt=2 The Home of Neon Jazz:http://theneonjazz.blogspot.com/ Contribute to Neon Jazz via PayPal:                    https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=ER  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
