CABARET TONIGHT IN TOR: BROADSWAY "OLD FRIENDS" CD RELEASE AT JAZZ BISTRO

Two award-winning Jazz singers, plus a Dora Award-nominated music director, have taken an array of music as wide as the smiles of their audience members' faces and formed "BROADSWAY". Heather Bambrick, Diane Leah, and Julie Michels are all very busy women, working in a number of projects and musical genres. It's this degree of exciting musical energy that brought them together, and helped them create a show that is eclectic, funny, and very, very musical. Now they will be performing at THE JAZZ BISTRO (251 Victoria Street, Toronto, ONT, CA - 416-363-5299) on Thursday through Saturday, August 1st through 3rd, to celebrate the release of their CD "Old Friends".

Julie and Heather (also host of "Wake Up ..." on JAZZ.FM91) are both acclaimed jazz performers, and Diane is a Dora Mavor Moore Award nominated Music Director, pianist and arranger. Their combined experience brings together Broadway music, pop sensibility, the improvisation of Jazz, and their unique senses of humour.

Performance highlights include their debut "Leading Ladies" concert, repeat shows at The Global Cabaret Festival, the COC Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre series, the Thursday Night Jazz Party at the Home Smith Bar, and several corporate appearances. They are already scheduled for various theatre performances in the 2013/2014 season.

Winning the Lottery tells the story of three women who work together in an office, with the realization of everyone's dream: they continually play the same numbers, and one lucky day they win forty-four million dollars. Fort Salem is the only professional theater north of New York City that consistently, year in and year out, is dedicated to creating and producing original musicals, starting in 2007 with a highly successful adaptation of A Christmas Carol, and continuing for the next five seasons with original shows by playwrights Al Budde and Jay Kerr. Budde and Kerr have gathered some of their favorite performers to carry forth their message to the world, including film and television performer Jesse Liebman, whose first post-college job was in Kerr's 2003 musical, Pyrates, at the Theater for the New City in Manhattan. Liebman, familiar to Fort audiences from Songs of War and Peace, I'm Getting My Act Together with Benita Zahn, and most recently 110 in the Shade in 2010, has gone on to co-star as Hugh Grant's assistant in the Hollywood film, Did You Hear About the Morgans, and is a series regular in A Girl's Guide, now in its second season on Cinemax. Playing Jesse's father, as he has in the past, is Gordon Hazzard, who first graced the Fort stage as Scrooge in A Christmas Carol. Gordon once toured nationally with John Astin in a different musical version of the Dickens classic. The men are joined by three lottery winners: Jessica O'Keefe (Breakfast Epiphanies and Corn!), Pat Reilly (Epiphanies and Senior Moments), and Mary Skelly (A Christmas Carol).

Eric released his first record at Age 16 for Elektra records to an amazing response from the media and music fans around the globe. After recording a second record for Elektra, all three Gales brothers teamed up for The Gales Bros. "Left Hand Brand" which was recorded for the House of Blues label in 1996.

CABARET TONIGHT IN NYC: CD RELEASE WEEK FOR EARL KLUGH'S "HANDPICKED" AT THE BLUE NOTE

GRAMMY Award-winning guitar virtuoso Earl Klugh will release his new, largely solo CD, HandPicked on Heads Up (part of the Concord Music Group) at THE BLUE NOTE(131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) on Tuesday through Saturday, July 20th through April 4th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. Since Klugh released his inaugural album in 1976, the Detroit-born master of the acoustic-classical guitar has become one of the most imitated icons of the instrument, issued dozens of discs, 23 of which have been on Billboard's top-10 list of jazz albums and 5 that made it to the No. 1 slot. During that time, Klugh's recordings also received 12 GRAMMY nominations (the latest of which was for his 2008 CD The Spice of Life) - and his collaboration with pianist Bob James, One on One, walked away with the 1980 GRAMMY Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album. Klugh is no stranger to collaborative work. His recordings, One on One, Two of a Kind and Cool with Bob James, and Collaboration with George Benson featured backing bands. However, HandPicked showcases Klugh's first recorded duets in the purest sense of the word. No band, just beautifully arranged string duets between Earl and his friends. There is a $20-$35 cover.
