He is joined by Gary Williamson - piano, Terry Clarke - drums, Kevin Turcotte - trumpet and Perry White - saxophone. Young is, without a doubt, one of Canada's most valuable and beloved musical exports. Whether he's performing as part of a classical symphony, or as an integral member of an iconic jazz trio (with the likes of the late Oscar Peterson), or leading any of his dynamic ensembles, Dave remains a total musician, with artistic soul in abundance. He first began studying the guitar and violin at age ten, but a turn of events at his first gig (a University dance band) compelled him to pick up the bass. Equally comfortable in the worlds of orchestral classical music and jazz, Dave is a multiple threat. As a classical musician, he has been a member of The Edmonton Symphony, The Winnipeg Symphony and The Hamilton Philharmonic. As a jazz artist, he is a chameleon-like bassist, who often shines brightest in collaborative efforts with other musicians. Because of his technical skill, few bassists (jazz or otherwise) are able to dig in, swing hard and still render a lyrical arco solo as Dave can.

Over the years, Kevin has played and produced with many world renown musicians including Bunky Green, Wayman Tisdale, Will Kennedy, and Dave Brubeck. Kevin has worked hard to hone his craft to become one of the premier drummers in the world.

Nearly 20 years have passed since the good Popa aka Ted Horowitz made a big splash in the blues community with his groundbreaking major label debut, 'Booty And The Beast.' 'Universal Breakdown Blues' is what Horowitz was inspired to craft after dealing with a painful divorce and recovery. The compelling songs feature searing guitar lines and heartfelt lyrics, which recall the lament that inspired such blues icons as Howlin' Wolf and Robert Johnson. Horowitz digs deep and comes up with some of the most intense songs he has ever written. Horowitz, who impresses with some incendiary guitar runs during 'Universal Breakdown Blues,' moves on as a contemporary blues player. What we need is some raw, powerful, edgy blues and that's just what Popa Chubby renders. We get to chew on some deep, moving, searing cuts that come straight from the soul. There is a $20 cover.

He played a two-year stint in the title role of Phantom - The Las Vegas Spectacular and most recently was Captain Hook opposite Cathy Rigby's Peter Pan.

NYC: KEN SLAVIN RETURNS TO METROPOLITAN ROOM WITH NEW SHOW

Crooner Ken Slavin returns to THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Friday, January 17th at 7:00 pm with his new show "A Swingin; Evening" after making his triumphant New York debut on the same stage on Halloween Night, 2013. He'll have plenty of copies of his new CD to share: "Ken Slavin LIVE at The Metropolitan Room," recorded on that memorable evening. Long before the current crop of young interpreters of classic jazz and the Great American Songbook embarked on their careers, Ken was singing the classics while working the microphone and building a fan base deep in the heart of Texas - in the culturally diverse and vibrant city of San Antonio, which is now the seventh largest metro area in the country. He performs regularly in San Antonio and in Austin - the musical capital of the Lone Star State. He also has sung as far north as Alaska and as far south as Mexico City! A late bloomer who had his first professional gig just before his 30th birthday, he has racked up numerous awards and glowing reviews across the country and overseas. His CDs are programmed on many traditional and internet radio stations in the USA and Europe. His most recent studio recording, "I'll Take Romance," has been spotlighted on programs from Alaska to New York and as far away as the United Kingdom, Italy, Poland, New Zealand, Portugal, France and Mexico. You can expect an exciting show of great standards and jazz classics. There is a $25 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

LOS ANGELES: JULIE ESPOSITO AT THE GARDENIA

SAN FRANCISCO: SHARON McNIGHT: "THE FIRST 30 YEARS"

Making her first appearance atFEINSTEIN'S AT THE NIKKO (222 Mason Street, San Francisco, CA - 866-663-1063), Karen McNight will present her all-new show, 'The First 30 Years' with performances on Thursday & Friday, January 16th & 17th at 8:00 pm. The show is an introspective retrospect from Moose Hall to Carnegie Hall (and all the gin joints on the way). Sharing her quixotic experiences from standing on a stage made from stacked beer cases in San Francisco's Castro District to starring on Broadway in Starmites and her indelible appearances in the world's bistros, McNight will perform songs by Irving Berlin, Billy Joel, Randy Newman, Willy Nelson and many new composers with her trademark comedy in-between. Joan Edgar will serve as Musical Director. The California native is a favorite with cabaret and concert audiences and is known for her sardonic comedic style, wry comments on the ways of the world and an eclectic mix of song selections. To many, her off-the-cuff ad libs and audience participation may be the most revered elements of any McNight show. The First 30 Years is no exception! McNight made her Broadway debut in 1989 in Starmites creating the role of Diva, for which she received a Tony Award nomination for Best Leading Actress in a Musical, and was the recipient of the coveted Theatre World Award for Outstanding Broadway Debut, which was presented to her by Carol Channing. In San Francisco, McNight was voted Best Actress by the San Francisco Bay Area Critics' Circle for her performance as Dolly Levi in Hello Dolly. She has received five Cable Car Awards for San Francisco's Cabaret Entertainer of the Year, New York's MAC Award for Outstanding Female Vocalist and the New York Critics' Nightlife Award for Best Musical Comedy Cabaret Show for Ladies Compose Yourselves. Of her many accomplishments and performance awards, McNight is most proud of the money she has raised on behalf of AIDS related charities. McNight is featured in the international best-selling book, "And the Band Played On." There is a $25-$35 cover plus a $20 food/drink minimum.
