Ally McBeal TV star brings her greatest hits tour to The Apex in Bury St Edmunds

Ally McBeal TV star Vonda Shepard is bringing her greatest hits tour to Bury St Edmunds next month.

Vonda first shot to fame in the late-Nineties via her long running appearances, performances and musical accompaniment on the popular US TV show Ally McBeal. She was cast in the show as the resident performer in the bar where the characters would hang out at the end of each episode.

She had a massive hit worldwide in 1998 (including a UK Top 10) with the show’s theme song, Searchin’ My Soul, and produced more than 500 songs for the series. Vonda has sold more than 12 million albums, won two Golden Globes, two Emmys, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards. She also holds the Billboard record for selling the most television soundtracks in history.

Ahead of her show at The Apex on October 18, Vonda said: “I play songs at the piano and get completely lost in them, then fuse with the band to get the sparks flying. By the end of the show, I love to belt out the soul tunes and whip the audience up into a frenzy!.”

Expect to hear such favourites as Tell Him, Maryland, I Only Want To Be With You, Baby Don’t You Break My Heart Slow, Proud Mary, Walk Away Renee and You Belong To Me as well as songs from her latest album, Red Light, Green Light.
