PALM SPRINGS, CA: JULIE ESPOSITIO COMES TO PALM DESERT
Julie Esposito will perform her new cabaret show entitled "Open Your Window" at THE ARTHUR NEWMAN THEATRE at the JOSLYN CENTER (73-750 Catalina Way, Palm Desert, CA - TKTS: 760-325-2731) on Sunday, October 19th at 2:00 pm. Critics have called Ms. Esposito an eclectic singer based on her use of a wide range of both musical styles and composers in her previous shows, and this new latest one is no exception. Joining Julie will be musical director and pianist Andy Howe. The show is part of Less Michael's Sundays in the Summer series. Julie Esposito began singing professionally at the age of 16 back in her hometown of Chicago where she acquired the music bug from her father, the late jazz pianist and musical director, Gene Esposito who worked with many of the big names in music. For "Open Your Window", Julie took a cue from her own life, choosing songs that reminded her of her childhood growing up in the 1960's up through today, a happily married attorney by day - cabaret singer by night. She's appeared at major clubs around Los Angeles and New York and is known for her pure, warm tone and artful phrasing with a unique style characterized by a mixture of jazz, popular, Broadway and The Great American Songbook. This show is also the title of her latest CD, which has earned much praise from reviewers and critics, as did her previous CD, "Unsung Hollywood", which features lessor known gems from the silver screen. Both CD's are available on line at Amazon, CD Baby and of course after her show. There is an $11 cash cover.
SAN FRANCISCO: STORM LARGE OF PINK MARTINI AT FEINSTEIN'S
Storm Large, of Pink Martini fame, will perform at FEINSTEIN'S AT THE NIKKO (222 Mason Street, San Francisco, CA - 866-663-1063) on Saturday & Sunday, October 18th & 19th at 7:00 pm. Storm Large reunites with her loyal and fearless band, Le Bonheur, for a new record that captures their unique energy. The eponymous disc "Le Bonheur" - to be released in the Fall of 2014 on Pink Martini's label, Heinz Records - will be a collection of tortured and titillating love songs; beautiful, familiar, yet twisted, much like Storm herself. She hits the road with her stalwart band in support of this new release. You will be swept away by the voice, beauty and visceral talent of Storm Large, an artist who truly lives up to her name. There is a $35-$50 cover plus a $20 food/drink minimum.
SAN FRANCISCO: RANA FARHAN AT YOSHI'S
Iranian artist Rana Farhan will perform at YOSHI'S (1330 Fillmore Street, San Francisco, CA - 415-655-5600) on Sunday, October 19th at 7:00 pm. Rana sings in a cool bluesy style that transcends time and erases all borders, wowing listeners worldwide. In her Harlem studio, together with Guitarist Steven Toub, Rana Farhan produces songs that marry the lyrics of the 13th century mystic poet Rumi and other classics with American elements of Blues and Jazz. The result is a rich and delicious blend that leaves the imagination longing for more, especially for young musicians in Iran who see Rana as an icon. There is a $36 cover. copyright 2014 - See cabaret listings from all over the world at CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE
