Singer, actor, and past booking manager of classic New York clubs, Don't Tell Mama and The Duplex - Jeff Ide proudly announces his recording, WITHIN THE HEART OF ME. Ide is a familiar performer to New York City cabaret audiences. His heartfelt, personal interpretations of the American popular songbook invite comparisons to singers such as Norah Jones and Nancy Lamott. He honed his talent with appearances at many of New York's most famous famed venues, such as Don’t Tell Mama, The Duplex, The Triad and Rose’s Turn. He has been featured in acts directed by Gerry Geddes, Helen Baldassare, Nancy Lamott, Bruce Hopkins & Helene Kelly. His musical theater education and performance experience includes a wide variety of musical styles, from classical to musical theater. It was through the influence of his depression era grandfather, Donald “Mac” McBride, a noted tenor of the early “Oxford Entertainers” from Pittsburgh, PA & KDKA radio, that Jeff became routed in a unique personal style which has delighted club and cabaret goers for a number of years.
