Bio
Dory Previn’s extraordinary musical career remains relatively unexamined despite the fact that when she and her ex-husband, Andre Previn, were a songwriting team they penned songs for Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra and wrote the theme from Valley of the Dolls, which spent four weeks in the number two slot on the Billboard charts just behind the Beatles. As a singer-songwriter, she released seven critically acclaimed albums in seven years. She sang about scream therapy before John Lennon, Jarvis Cocker chose one of her songs as his “desert island disc”, Belle and Sebastian consider her a favorite and the Scottish band Camera Obscura have a song called “Dory Previn”. Julia Greenberg, a New York City-based songwriter, performer and theater composer (Off-Broadway Shows “People Are Wrong!” and “Cavedweller” at the Vineyard Theatre and New York Theater Workshop, respectively) became obsessed with Dory Previn’s music and story after hearing the song “The Holy Man on the Malibu Bus Number Three” on a mix CD. In 2008 Greenberg began interpreting Previn’s music at such venues as Joe’s Pub and the 92YTribeca in New York and at the modern art museum Mass MoCa in Massachusetts. She has also been interviewed about Previn’s life and music on public and satellite radio. Greenberg continues to bring Previn’s uncompromisingly neurotic, surreal, sexual and hauntingly honest music to audiences whenever she gets the chance. She is backed by world-class musicians and often joined by guest artists who are similarly influenced by Previn’s work. -
