Included in the concert will be beloved treasures such as "Wild is the Wind," "Mississippi Goddam," "Sinnerman," and lesser-known delights like "In the Dark" and "Marriage is For Old Folks". Natalie Douglas is a seven-time MAC Award Winner, a Nightlife Award Winner and Bistro Award Winner. Natalie's second CD, To Nina ...
