Ari Shapiro is a singer - Saw him tonight with the band Pink Martini!

Yes, that Ari Shapiro, the NPR White House correspondent was up on stage at the Keswick Theater in Glenside, PA singing with China Forbes and Pink Martini. He did 4 or 5 songs and was excellent.

What'd he sing? I assume they were doing "standards" so I thought I might know 1 or 2 at least. nomorenomore08 Dec 2012 #1

He sang "I'll Be Back" from the "Splendor in the Grass" album GoneOffShore Dec 2012 #3

Good for you. Glad to hear that China is singing again, too. Ken Burch Dec 2012 #2

A Bollywood song, and a Ladino Hannukah song with China, also another duet where he sang Happy Days Are Here Again and China sang a different song (damn my memory).

A totally fun evening.

She'd had to take almost a year off due to vocal chord nodules or something like that.
