PALM SPRINGS: AMY & FREDDY AT THE COPA

Palm Springs can't get enough of Amy Armstrong & Freddy Allen, and now they are back to the desert audience they love! Amy & Freddy will appear at THE COPA (244 East Amado Road, Palm Springs CA - 760-866-0021) on Friday & Saturday, July 18th & 19th at 8:00 pm. Quite possibly, Amy & Freddy can lay claim to one of the longest running gigs in show biz, as headliners for 13 consecutive years on one of the world's highest profile cruise line companies, RSVP Vacations. Amy Armstrong is the unforgettable sassy, brassy, saucy, plus sized chanteuse who belts, bowdlerizes, boogies, and bares her soul at the microphone. Freddy Allen, Pianist and Music Director, sometimes joins her in song as the patience-of-a-saint, ivory-tickling sidekick. Theirs is a rare talent to captivate, amuse and enchant ... don't miss it! Call for cover/minimum information.

July 20th happens to be Moon Day - it's the 45th anniversary of the first Lunar Landing, the day that Neil Armstrong stepped out of the lunar module and gave us these amazing words: "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind".

SAN FRANCISCO, CA: WAKE UP MADAGASCAR 2 AT YOSHI'S

'Wake Up Madagascar 2' will be performed at YOSHI'S (1330 Fillmore Street, San Francisco, CA - 415-655-5600) on Saturday, July 19th at 8:00 pm. Singer, songwriter and environmental activist Razia Said spent her childhood in the vanilla-growing region of Madagascar's northeast coast. After years of living abroad, she returned to discover her country's landscape ravaged by illegal logging, slash and burn agriculture and the impact of climate change. In an effort to raise awareness at the local and international level, Razia organized the Mifohaza Masoala (Wake Up Masoala) music/environmental festival, which took place at the edge of the Masoala Rainforest in October 2011. Before the concert local inhabitants planted a total of 20,000 trees. The concert featured some of Madagascar's most exciting performers, and the festival was a huge success. The participants agreed that the next step was to take the music and the message to the world. Last year The Wake Up Madagascar tour showcased the same outstanding musicians and dancers who create an uplifting celebration of Malagasy music. They toured US and Canada to great critical success. This year they are back with the music that makes Madagascar dance with its heart pounding rhythms, rippling guitars, lush vocal harmonies, bouncy accordion and hip-shaking dance moves. This music represents the soul and spirit of the island. Open Dance Floor. There is a $30 cover.
