TERESE GENECCO
Sings Elvis Presley '56
Mon, Dec 13, 8pm
$25 ($35 Ltd VIP)
"Frisky, retro fun!"- Time Out New York
"The Love Child of Dean Martin and Judy Garland!" ~The San Francisco Examiner. "Terese Genecco sings Elvis Presley's debut ground-breaking album from start to finish in a ground-breaking live performance. I warn you; this is not your mother's Elvis. Every song is sung to a different beat than the original. Whether you are a devout Elvis fan, or a devout Terese Genecco fan, or both, this is a great show not to be missed!" - www.NitelifeExchange.com NYC

FAITH WINTHROP
At The Mercy Of Mercer
Tue, Dec 14, 8pm
$27.50
In celebration of Johnny Mercer's invaluable contribution to the world of music, Faith lovingly sings the lilting and irrepressible lyrics of this master tunesmith. And then, there is Mabel Mercer, a"singer's singer" and legend, for whom Cole Porter and Bart Howard wrote songs for her to introduce. Homage is paid to her, as she was one of Faith's own musical mentors. Rounding out an already marvelous mix, Faith introduces several of her own new songs, making for a full evening of song.

If you are not in a bon ton roulette frame of mind, then you've come to the wrong show, because feisty songstress Kim Nalley gives a jazz/blues thrill to New Years Eve that few performers can match, in the Bay Area or anywhere. San Francisco Chronicle says she has "pipes to burns and works the stage like she means it." A powerful blues singer, a jazz stylist who can put her stamp on American songbook standards, a soul drenched vintage R&B master, Nalley defies all categorization.
