D A N A M C C O Y: ʻ C U B E R AT ʼ
A Rock Musical in an Office Cubicle
“I’d like to sign her uterus with my magic pen”- Russell Brand
“Amazing!” – Colin Quinn
“McCoy’s voice has a smokey intensity” – Billboard
Dana McCoy is a Billboard Album of the Year winner and Virgin
Records artist who has triumphantly appeared on comedian Rosie
O’Donnell’s American chat show and been adoringly profiled in all
major media.
Now – drum roll please – she works in an office cubicle.
But though Dana has gone from riding a tour bus to being a desk
jockey, the laughs (and tunes) keep (rockin’ and) rolling. Dana
McCoy: ʻCube Ratʼ is here to bridge the gap between what
people think their lives should be and what they actually are,
hopefully without inciting too many suicides along the way.
Dana McCoy was born singing and dancing, and has trained in all
the disciplines of performance since then: Ballet, Modern and
Jazz at the North Carolina School of the Arts; Musical Theatre
training at Boston Conservatory; then the Cleo Lane Vocal
Scholarship and Berklee Grant to study composition, voice and
performance at Berklee College of Music. Since school Dana has
toured as a singer/songwriter and performer in the US, UK and Europe, been a staple on the New York City music
scene singing in recording studios and clubs, and as one might expect, her live shows always include various
forms of dance. In the 1990’s Dana opened her own music company, Featherweight Productions, and produced her
first solo album (Taking Shape, available on iTunes) that went on to become a Billboard Editorʼs choice for Album of
the Year.
Dana McCoy: ʻCube Ratʼ features a score co-produced by Roger Greenwalt, the owner of Shabby Road studios,
who will appear alongside Dana throughout this Edinburgh run. Greenwalt is known for discovering singer Ben
Kweller, working with acts as diverse as Rufus Wainwright and Ric Ocasek and performing all 185 original Beatles
songs on ukulele in one day. With his able assistance, Dana has put together a show so good, she may have to
use up all her sick days performing it.
“Her hypnotic music and lyrics…a surprisingly unique, thoroughly captivating marriage of torch, blues and
pop…Clearly she’s on her way.” – Manhattan Magazine.
