Bufford isn't singing simple love songs. In her brand new show, CAROLE J. BUFFORD: Body and Soul, she is singing songs fueled by burning passion! The songs this critically acclaimed concert artist and cabaret star will be singing are the musical equivalents of emotional earthquakes. These are songs about, among other things, overpowering lust, bitter hatred, and fiery desire. Oh, and some of them are also funny! Culled from Broadway, rock 'n' roll, pop and country sources, this is a show unlike any other you've seen, performed by a young artist who has quickly emerged as a star thanks to her uniquely original, theatrical style. Musical Director is Ian Herman. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

NYC: HEE HAWK AT THE METROPOLITAN ROOM

The vocal group Hee Hawk will perform at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440 - ) on Thursday, October 3rd at 9:30 pm. The style of Hee Hawk is described as a cross of jazz, soul, and Americana. The group has been performing across New England and New York for the past two years and is a rising force in the world of acoustic music. Hee Hawk performs the original compositions of pianist Adam Lipsky. With strong roots in the jazz tradition, the players in Hee Hawk bring their harmonic awareness and improvisation technique to the original pieces. While some pieces have more open melodies reminiscent of Appalachian string music, others have subtle, more intricate harmonic content that shows influence from such masters as Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus. With the highly emotive sensibilities of Appalachian and Depression-era folk music, the group weaves between consonance and dissonance bringing out all the soul of the blues. The sound of Hee Hawk is raw, elegant, and vital. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

NYC: DINA MARTINA: A DOUR PALETTE AT THE BEECHMAN

Cult sensation DINA MARTINA returns to New York with DINA MARTINA: A DOUR PALETTE at THE WEST BANK CAFE/LAURIE BEECHMAN THEATRE (407 West 42nd Street, NYC - 212-695-6909).

After attaining cult status in her native town of Seattle and touring nationally, Martina's official New York debut in 2005 sold out in minutes. Her follow-up shows have left jaded audiences (including Whoopi Goldberg, John Waters, Matt Stone, John Cameron Mitchell, Margaret Cho, Bruce Vilanch, Joyce Dewitt, and Jeff Stryker) stunned and clamoring for more. DINA MARTINA: A DOUR PALETTE, like all of Martina's surreal shows, is a nearly indescribable night of unique entertainment that assaults the senses like no other show. Dina promises a delightful blend of unequalled song, unnecessary dance, unattractive costumes, and unbelievable video. There is a $22 cover plus a $15 food/drink minimum.

Everyone knows the brilliance of the Great American Songbook - which has been performed for many years, and in many different ways. But that songbook has expanded beyond 1955 - and now is the time to celebrate other writers who have created iconic music in the past half century. As always, Tony will have some exciting new material of his own, and a few wonderful surprises to share with the audience. There is a $30-$45 cover plus a $25 food/drink minimum.
