Sing Me the Songs That Say I Love You: A Concert for Kate McGarrigle, the feature documentary directed by Lian Lunson that captures the May 2011 New York City concerts honoring the late Kate McGarrigle, will make its digital premiere via the Sundance Institute’s Artist Services program September 17, 2013. The film, a tribute to the renowned Canadian singer-songwriter, features her children Rufus and Martha Wainwright, her sisters Anna and Jane, and talented friends including Emmylou Harris, Norah Jones, Jimmy Fallon, and Antony.

Sing Me the Songs, which made its world premiere at Sundance London in 2012 and had a theatrical run earlier this summer, is among the 15 independent films that will make their digital debut this fall through a variety of platforms and storefronts, via the Artist Services program, which provides access to self-distribution for artists supported by the Sundance Institute. Titles will be available on a variety of platforms, including iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, Microsoft Xbox, Sony Entertainment Network, SundanceNOW, VUDU, and YouTube.

On June 25, 2013, Nonesuch Records released Sing Me the Songs: Celebrating the Works of Kate McGarrigle, which features highlights from the New York tribute concerts at The Town Hall as well as those held in London and Toronto after McGarrigle died of sarcoma, a rare form of cancer, in 2010.

Proceeds from the concerts provided seed money for the Kate McGarrigle Foundation—a non-profit organization dedicated to raising money in the fight against sarcoma and also to preserving her legacy through the arts. Net proceeds from the sale of the Sing Me the Songs album also will be donated to the Foundation. The double-disc set was produced by Joe Boyd, who curated the concerts, and features performances by Rufus and Martha Wainwright, Anna McGarrigle, Emmylou Harris, Antony, Norah Jones, and Teddy Thompson, among others.

    The original cast album of Adam Guettel’s Broadway musical Days of Wine and Roses, with a book by Craig Lucas, starring Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James, will be released on CD on May 17, following its recent digital release.  “Repeated listenings compound the amazement,” the New York Times says of Guettel’s work, which “has always offered that kind of challenge—initially leaving a feeling of: Beautiful, but wait, I need to hear it again—and those up for it have a way of coming away shining like Moses down from the Mount. The new score has the same effect.”
