TODAY IN L.A.: JAN ABRAMS COMES TO ARTHUR NEWMAN THEATRE
Bronx-born Jan Abrams will make her desert return on Saturday, September 25th at 7:00 pm at the ARTHUR NEWMAN THEATRE at the JOSLYN CENTER THEATRE (73-750 Catalina Way, Palm Desert, CA - 760-340-3220). Her current show is autobiographical and entitled "On My Way To You", which is taken from her CD "Rainbow Wings". Accompanying Jan on the piano is musical director John Randall. Jan's singing talent was influenced by her father and two uncles who were all piano tuners with an exceptional pitch and an affinity for the Great American Songbook. One of her uncles, Victor Abrams, was a songwriter whose songs were recorded by Dinah Washington, Dean Martin, Sarah Vaughn, and Nat King Cole. Listening to the three sing in beautiful three part harmonies propelled Jan into wanting to become a singer at an early age, seeing every Broadway show and learning every song from their scores. After moving to Manhattan, Jan began singing in clubs such as Scene One, The Duplex, The Grand Finale, Freddy's Supper Club, Panache, Don't Tell Mama, and Eighty-Eight's, felling in love with the intimacy of the cabaret art form. In 1998, Jan moved to Los Angeles and married but continued to perform cabaret at The Cinegrill at The Roosevelt Hotel, and at The Gardenia. Tickets are $10.copyright 2010 - CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE - POST YOUR COMMENTS BELOW
