Upstairs at Rose's Turn (55 Grove St.) will present present award-winning artists David Gurland and Randi Driscoll for one night only, Sunday, May 21 at 8PM.
The performers return to the West Village following their sold out performance at The Duplex this April. Friends for over twenty years, Gurland and Driscoll will split the bill in an hour of musical entertainment with original songs written and performed by Driscoll and an array of pop tunes performed by Gurland accompanied by Tim Di Pasqua.
Gurland
has performed in such New York venues as BB Kings,
Downtime, The Bitter End, The Cutting Room, The Living Room, CB's
Gallery, FEZ, The Encore, Don't Tell Mama, The Duplex, The Triad, as
well The Gardenia in LA, Twiggs in San Diego and The Manor in NJ. He
has also been featured in Carnegie Hall's Neighborhood Concert series
for two seasons in a row. For his nightclub and cabaret performances,
David has won the Manhattan Association of Cabaret's Hanson Award, as
well as having been nominated an additional five times. Gurland has
also won three Back Stage Bistro Awards, more than any other Male
Vocalist. Last fall, he and award winning vocalist Julie Reyburn,
premiered their first full "co" show after trying it out "out of town"
at Odette's. His most recent show was Neurotica, an all-Madonna mini-rock concert.
Driscoll was chosen by Rolling Stone as an "up and coming acoustic artist." She has opened for Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne,
Pat Benetar and Bruce Hornsby. Driscoll, whose original music has been
featured in films, commercials and the hit series "Dawson's Creek," is
perhaps best-known for her song "What Matters," a benefit single that
has raised more than $35,000 dollars for the Matthew Shepard
Foundation. "What Matters" is featured on the new HRC release "Love
Rocks", which includes tracks by Christina Aguilera, Pink, Dolly Parton
and others. With performances that include stops at Lincoln Center,
Montreal's Place des Arts, The Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas and
extensive touring throughout the country, Driscoll is a regular at New
York's Cutting Room and The Bitter End. There will be a $15 cover charge plus a two drink minimum. There is a $10 cover for members of Cabaret Hotline.
