Upper Merion Parks & Recreation "Concerts Under The Stars" concert series presents Susuan Werner

George Gershwin. Cole Porter. Richard Rodgers. Billy Strayhorn. The Golden Age of Popular Song. A bygone era.

No one can write tunes like that anymore.

Or has Susan Werner added a new chapter to the Great American Songbook?

I Can't Be New (Koch Records), is Werner's fourth nationally released recording, and while chartering somewhat new territory in style, it offers the same high quality writing that her fans have come to expect. Werner performs 12
original compositions in the songbook style. And in this nod to the composers of standards, she's breathed new and brilliant life into the popular song tradition, one that many thought was a closed book.
