“This up-and-coming jazz artist put together a smart, sassy, and entirely entertaining show that just concluded a short run at The Duplex. The title suggests that she's a little cracked; her quirky sensibility brought a fresh perspective to familiar songs and took us down new roads that led to deliciously unfamiliar tunes.” (Barbara and Scott Siegel, TheaterMania.com)

A California native, Mychelle Colleary now spends much of the year in New York City where she has delighted audiences and critics alike at top nightspots Don’t Tell Mama, Danny’s Skylight Room and the Duplex Cabaret Theater.

Mychelle Colleary’s most recent recording “After Hours At The Plush Room” was recorded live at the prestigious San Francisco music venue, audio samples from which can be heard at Ms. Colleary’s official website.
