Songs by Tom Lehrer

0 upcoming performances in New York

First issued in 1953 on Tom Lehrer’s own imprint, *Songs by Tom Lehrer* introduced a new kind of American songbook: piano-led pop built to carry sharp satire about politics, culture, and everyday hypocrisy. Decades later, its placement in the National Recording Registry marked it as a document of mid-century wit with lasting public value. At City Winery NYC, the material returns in a live rock/pop setting with Thank You Tom Lehrer, Bobby Underwood, Zalmen Mlotek, and Lehrer’s legacy in view. Lehrer's precision is the point; the jokes land because the writing is exacting.
