Singer Nellie McKay to Perform at World Vegetarian Day Celebration
San Francisco, California—San Francisco Vegetarian Society (SFVS) and In Defense of Animals (IDA) are pleased to announce that acclaimed singer/songwriter/pianist Nellie McKay will be performing at the World Vegetarian Day celebration, co-presented by the organizations.
McKay, who has been a vegetarian since age 8, has been lauded by critics for her unique style. Herbivore magazine describes it as “neo-cabaret eclecticism.” The Village Voice said of her debut album, Get Away From Me, “…not counting Stephin Merritt, no other under-40 approaches McKay's gift for cabaret.”
