NYC: EDITH PIAF: AN ALL-STAR CELEBRATION

Edith Piaf was more than the greatest female entertainer France ever produced; she was one of the 20th Century's most famous female singers - an international star! She was also the embodiment of passion - of love, loss, and unquenchable spirit. Piaf left behind a legacy of hit songs that will be performed in her honor at 54 Below by some of New York's most acclaimed performers. Come hear and experience the searing power and towering passion of Piaf's greatest hits such as "Non, je ne regrette rien" (1960), "Hymne a l'amour" (1949), "Milord" (1959), "La Foule" (1957), "L'Accordeioniste" (1955), "Padam ... Padam ..." (1951), and, of course, "La Vie en Rose" (1946), among many others. Imagine, she was born exactly one week after Frank Sinatra came into this world. What a week that was. And what a night August 13th will be as we pay homage to the memory, the music, and the spirit of Edith Piaf! EDITH PIAF: An All-Star Centennial Celebration will be performed by award-winning Broadway and cabaret stars, and it will be produced, written, and hosted by New York impresario Scott Siegel and is the creator/ writer/ host of the critically acclaimed Broadway by the Year series at The Town Hall (now in its 15th season).

NYC: ALPHA REV UNPLUGGED / JARED & THE MILL AT JOE'S PUB

Singer-songwriter Casey McPherson of Alpha Rev performs at JOE'S PUB at THE PUBLIC THEATRE (425 Lafayette Street, NYC - 212-967-7555) on Thursday, August 13th at 7:00 pm. Following the Triple A Radio success of New Morning (2010), the band's third album Bloom (2013) is a set of personally transformative and redemptive songs, born in the spirit of creative expansion, and a mandate to blossom and grow. Rooted in lyrical wisdom, the more recent addition of drummer Tabber Millard - trained by master percussionists - is credited for the band's contemporary tribal rhythms. Newest Alpha Rev addition Jeff Bryant rounds out the band, playing pedal steel, piano, organ, and bass. With a glistening rock sound that is at once fragile and tough, Bloom picks up threads from the past while it takes a big bite into the eternal here and now. Drawing from the wellspring of American history, the grandeur of its landscape, and life's sweet and tragic mysteries, McPherson leans into his personal challenges as well as the wages of the 21st Century and emerges with a triumphant statement on the ways in which music can serve as a constant source of strength and inspiration. There is a $15 cover.

NYC: BROWN GIRLS BURLESQUE PRESENTS BETTY'S STORY AT JOE'S PUB

From there she pieced together a revolving door of musicians she calls The Curators, she wrote and produced her first album "Hologram".
