Most widely known for her roles on television and in film - as Rachel in "The Rage: Carrie 2,"Beth on "Desperate Housewives" and now on "Shameless," as well as for her extensive work on Broadway and Off, Emily Bergl burst onto the cabaret scene just two years ago, garnering raves. She has performed at the Oak Room, the Cafe Carlyle, and the new Feinstein's. Her newest and most personal show, "Until the Real Thing Comes Along," exposes the lengths we go in our search for love. In a Cabaret-in-a-New-Key style, Bergl blends Berlin with Blondie, Rodgers and Hammerstein with Tracey Chapman, and Noel Coward with Britney Spears. It works, wondrously. Her show is heartbreaking and funny, sometimes in the same beat. Seehttp://www.gaslightcabaretfestival.com for full information on all shows.

SAN FRANCISCO: JOHN NeMETH & THE BO-KEYS
John NeMeth & The Bo-Keys will perform at YOSHI'S (1330 Fillmore Street, San Francisco, CA - 415-655-5600) on Friday, March 14th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. Boise, Idaho is hardly the place anyone would conjure up as a hotbed of soul-blues. But for John Nemeth, it's where his love for the genre began - and the starting point for a journey that's taken him from his first gigs fronting a teenage blues band to five Blues Music Award nominations in 2013 alone. In early 2013, Nemeth traded his life on the west coast to settle down in Memphis, Tennessee. He and Jaki, that girlfriend he followed to California, had married and started a family, and Memphis made sense for multiple reasons: It's centrally located for touring, the cost of living is inexpensive, and the river town is the historical ground zero for blues, soul, and rock-and-roll. Nemeth landed in the perfect place: Electraphonic Studio, home of producer and musician Scott Bomar, who composed the film scores for Hustle & Flow and Black Snake Moan and produced Cyndi Lauper's Memphis Blues. Backed by the Bo-Keys, Bomar's group of veteran Memphis performers who made their names playing with the likes of Al Green, O.V. Wright, Rufus Thomas, and the Bar-Kays. Nemeth quickly laid down thirteen tracks. The tapes from that session caught the ear of music industry veteran Charles Driebe, who took the album to Denby Auble of Blue Corn Music. The Americana/roots music label quickly signed Nemeth, adding him to a roster that boasts the likes of Ruthie Foster, Gurf Morlix, and Steve Forbert. There is an $18-$28 cover.copyright 2014 - See cabaret listings from all over the world at CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE
