Nicole Dillenberg’s new show, “The Popular Songs of World War One” celebrates some of our most treasured popular songs, and honors the thread that runs from Dillenberg’s great grandparents down to her. Though only one American veteran of WW1 survives today, many of the songs from the era remain famous. From early Irving Berlin, to classics like “Pack Up Your Troubles In Your Old Kit Bag”, and “It’s A Long Way To Tipperary”, Dillenberg shares with us how modern and universal these songs truly are—and how, musically, they bridge the gap between hymn and folk song, vaudeville, and the pop songs of today.

Originally from New York’s Hudson River Valley, Nicole Dillenberg graduated from the University of Southern California with a BA in Cinema. The actress has performed at such venues as the Hollywood Palladium, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Tom Rolla’s Gardenia, the Empire Plush Room, and the Hideaway Room at Helen’s. Nicole’s 2005 CD release, “Just Like Heaven,” was arranged by Grammy-nominated pianist, Bill Cunliffe, and features LA’s jazz finest.
