Actress, author, and now singer Molly Ringwald is coming to St. Louis to perform on Tuesday, May 14 and Wednesday, May 15 at Jazz at the Bistro. The star of hit films including The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, and Sixteen Candles, Ringwald (pictured) has just released her first album as a jazz vocalist, Except Sometimes, on Concord Records.
Except Sometimes includes Ringwald's takes on standards such as "The Very Thought Of You," "I Get Along Without You Very Well," and "Pick Yourself Up," as well as a version of "Don’t You (Forget About Me)," the Simple Minds pop hit famously featured in the credits sequence of The Breakfast Club. The album was produced by pianist Peter Smith, and also features Clayton Cameron on drums, Allen Mezquida on alto saxophone and Trevor Ware on bass.
