PALM SPRINGS: JORDAN MILLER IN "THE BROADWAY LEADING MAN"

Les Michaels Life Is A Cabaret Sundays In Summer Series brings back singer and actor Jordan Miller with his one-man cabaret concert "The Broadway Leading Man" to THE ARTHUR NEWMAN THEATRE at the JOSLYN CENTER(73-750 Catalina Way, Palm Desert, CA - TKTS: 760-325-2731) on Sunday, April 20th at 2:00 pm. He is joined by pianist Charlie Creasy. The show features songs made famous by such leading men as Howard Keel, John Raitt, Robert Goulet, and Mario Lanza, along with some Broadway and Hollywood history and stories from Miller's own theatrical career. Born in Huntsville, Texas, Mr. Miller is a classically trained baritone who studied at Houston State University and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Acting from University of North Carolina School of the Arts. He has performed in numerous musicals and operettas, with leads in "Oklahoma", "Anything Goes", and "Annie Get Your Gun" as few of his favorites and spent three seasons as a principal singer with Holland-American Cruise Lines. But he admits he had the most fun as The Grinch in Dr. Suess' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" at San Diego's Old Globe Theater, as the title role in "Jerry Springer: The Opera" at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and best role of all-new dad with wife, actress Jessica Couto. There is an $11 cover.

SAN FRANCISCO: HAUSCHKA AT YOSHI'S

Inventive German "prepared" pianist and composer Volker Bertelmann will perform at YOSHI'S (1330 Fillmore Street, San Francisco, CA - 415-655-5600) on Sunday, April 20th at 7:00 pm. The story behind Volker Bertelmann - known best these days as HAUSCHKA - is not necessarily what you'd expect. Although he is one of the most recognisable 21st Century proponents of what is known as prepared piano - one whose sound is altered by the insertion of alien objects between or upon its strings, hammers and dampers - he was barely aware of the champions of such a practise when he first began his experiments. Even John Cage was a largely unfamiliar name that fateful day when he sat in the studio of his friend Adam Fuest and, frustrated by the sounds he was making, starting placing random objects into the instrument. What's stranger still, one might think, is the fact that Bertelmann's first forays into the public world were with major label hip hop act God's Favourite Dog and a drum and bass quintet called Nonex. But, when you listen to his music closely, this perhaps makes more sense than you'd initially think: the sound of HAUSCHKA has always been both instinctive and fuelled by a love of rhythm. Bertelmann, you see, is clearly a man who knows his instrument - quite literally - inside out, and he's as unafraid of approaching it with a fresh sensibility as he is capable of drawing upon an unusually broad church of influences. Almost two decades after he began his professional career rapping, Volker Bertelmann aka HAUSCHKA finds himself in the unusual position of being regularly compared to the likes of Eric Satie, John Cage and Steve Reich. (In 2011 he was invited by London's prestigious Barbican to perform as part of Reverbations, a festival celebrating the work and influence of the latter composer.) Always unpredictable, HAUSCHKA continues to offer only one certainty: that the next step he takes will no doubt be as unexpected as the direction from which he has come. Dinner/Show: $54 Show only: $19.

SAN FRANCISCO: YONAS + THE SPECKTATORS - DOUBLE BILL

Rapper Yonas and the group The Specktators perform in a double bill at YOSHI'S (1330 Fillmore Street, San Francisco, CA - 415-655-5600) on Sunday, April 20th at 9:30 pm. Hailing from New York City, Yonas is one of hip-hop's most-hyped emerging artists. Known for his incredibly unique style, the 25 year old makes it known that he is unlike anyone else in the game. Although Yonas is just breaking out, he has already built-up quite the list of accomplishments. In 2010, Yonas won a Billboard song writing award for his song "Banga". Additionally, his hit single "Sky Kidz" was featured on MTVu as well as Fuse TV with no label or marketing assistance. Yonas had begun to resonate directly with his audience, as he released his debut album The Proven Theory in 2011 setting the foundation for something special. Since then Yonas has gone on to release 2 additional projects, one of which (The Black Canvas EP) reached Top 5 on the iTunes Hip Hop Charts, and Top 25 on the overall Albums Charts for the first 72 hours of its release. Originally from Lansing, Michigan, the unsigned brother duo The Specktators headed out West to chase a dream in Los Angeles, and that's exactly what they are doing. After releasing four free mixtapes and a compilation project, The Specktators put out their debut album "The Parlay," at the end of 2013. The album hit #6 on the iTunes Hip-Hop charts and landed them on the Billboard Charts for the second time in their career. The album showcased not only their creative talents (Moe-T the producer; Packi the lyricist), but their vision for what the future of music should be. Dance Floor Open. Dinner/Show: $52 Show only: $18.
