Ascap award winning songwriter, Abe Olman Scholarship winner and best singing waitress in New York, Nancy Magarill is a one of a kind artist, producer, composer and performer. Her record, “the Carousel” is an eclectic mix of poetry & pop. Produced by Daniel Mintseris (Alice Smith, Marianne Faithful, St. Vincent) and co-produced by Nancy, it’s an infusion of vocals, soaring strings, drums, beats and the usual twists and turns in from this no-holds-barred lyricist/composer.

Nancy has several indie releases under her name; “Down Below the Rodeo” is a collaboration with the Sirius String Quartet comprised of Dave Eggar (Evanescence, The Who, Michael Brecker, Josh Groban), Gregor Huebner (Richie Beirach, Randy Brecker, John Patitucci), Ron Lawrence (Kathleen Battle, Renee Fleming, John Zorn, Elliot Sharp) with special guest Lucia Micarelli (from HBO’s Treme, and has played with Josh Groban, Chris Botti and a host of others).
