Jeanne Trevor CD release concert at
the Sheldon on Tuesday, February 27

In checking the Sheldon Concert Hall's Web site on an unrelated matter, I see that the hall has scheduled what's billed as a "CD release concert" for singer Jeanne Trevor at 7:30 p.m. next Tuesday, February 27.

The show is part of the "Notes From Home" series, but other than that, I'm having a hard time finding any additional information, including the name of the CD, who's putting it out, and what's on it. Trevor self-released a couple of cassettes in the 1980s and 1990s, and recorded a CD called Love You Madly in 1999 for the Catalyst label, run by pianist and former St. Louisan Simon Rowe.

Trevor doesn't have a Web site of her own, and Catalyst's former Web site seems to have disappeared - with the URL hijacked to reroute visitors to a porn site - so it seems unlikely they're involved in this release. Closer to home, the Sheldon's PR staff is usually very good about sending out news releases for events at the Hall and Galleries, but for some reason they don't seem to do much promotion for the "Notes From Home" shows other than listing them on the Web site. Tickets for the "Notes from Home" series are $6 and are available only at the door.

Lack of details notwithstanding, given Trevor's status as a longtime St. Louis favorite with an established fan base, a new CD from her certainly seems worth noting. StLJN will try to get more information and will update this post if/when it becomes available.
