PHYLLIS PASTORE made her mark on the New York cabaret scene as soon as she arrived in New York in 1988. A Bistro Award-winner and MAC Award-nominee, Phyllis was a staple on the stages of Don’t Tell Mama, the legendary 88’s Cabaret & Piano Bar, Upstairs at the Downstairs and One If By Land, Two If By Sea, among others. Phyllis was the first cabaret performer to be invited to sing at the acclaimed Wexford Opera Festival fringe in Wexford, Ireland and has been seen on stages in St. Thomas, London, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Munich. Phyllis has shared the stage with such legends as Barbara Cook, Michael Feinstein, Steve Ross and Petula Clark. In 1993, Phyllis accepted a job in a small cabaret/piano bar called Montparnasse, located on Mykonos, one of Greece’s most beautiful islands. It was a match made in heaven and this one month gig turned into an annual event, this year marking her 21st season performing in this world-renowned club. She has received critical acclaim from Backstage, The NY Post, Conde Nast Traveler and Fodor’s Travel Guide. In recent years, Phyllis has been the lead singer with JT Wildman Jazz Band, an 8-piece Dixieland ensemble performing at “Superfine” in the Dumbo area of Brooklyn. This past year marks the beginning of Phyllis as a songwriter. Inspired by a class taught by Julie Gold, Phyllis has at this writing, composed 7 songs of varying styles. She is currently working on a showcase featuring her original compositions.
