Randy Weston And More Added To 10th Annual Nightlife Awards Lineup 1/30

Joining the already announced performance of the re-united Chris Durang & Dawn, the special 10th Anniversary celebration of the Nightlife Awards will also present 90 year old Jazz Legend Jon Hendricks.

Another legendary jazz honoree, Jazz pianist Randy Weston will perform. Songwriter/singer Amanda McBroom also receives special honors for her rich contributions to our nightlife with both her songs and her consistently stunning nightclub performances. And yet another special honoree joins these three legends, the extraordinarily inventive and original comic folksinger/composer Christine Lavin who will, like everyone else on the bill, perform.

As announced earlier, Lucie Arnaz and Tony Award winner Bill Irwin will both co-host and perform, as well.

More stars to be announced shortly as we get closer and closer to January 30th.

It will still be All-Performance, but this year, in addtion to giving special awards to a select number of major, important nightlife entertainers, the show will also bring back some of the last decade's most memorable performers in an all-star tribute to New York Nightlife.
