Upright Cabaret put on a night of Judy Garland songs celebrating LA Pride Weekend with stars and even Garland relatives turning out for the evening at La Boheme restaurant in West Hollywood on June 8.
Singer/songwriter Audra Mae headlined the performance, as she is the great grandniece of Garland and the great-granddaughter of Judy's band leader Bobby Sherwood. Another legend's family member, Roslyn Kind (half-sister of Barbra Streisand) turned up to sing on stage as well. Other performers at the Garland tribute included Legendary Jazz Singer Ann Mack, Chad Kimball and the divine Valarie Pettiford.
June 22nd, join producer/hosts Shane Scheel and Chris Isaacson along with Music Director Trapper Felides for the Season Finale Upright presentation!
