The Four Bitchin' Babes to Return to the State Theatre, 4/16

With the advent of social media, a discography of ten recorded projects, and a desire to celebrate their wildly successful touring escapades over the past two and a-half decades, the Four Bitchin' Babes will be shining the spotlight back over 25 years of their most requested hit songs. It's this enormous repertoire that made "The Babes" the venerable "original girls night out" tour-de-force musical comedy theatre hit they are today!

The Best of Four Bitchin' Babes 25th Anniversary Celebration comes to the State Theatre on Thursday, April 16th.

Show time 7:30 PM. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased by visiting the State Theatre Box Office, 453 Northampton Street, Easton, by calling 1-800-999-STATE, 610.252.3132 or online at www.statetheatre.org. Sponsored by Lehigh Valley Woman and WDIY 88.1 FM.

THE FOUR BITCHIN' BABES are Sally Fingerett, Debi Smith, Deirdre Flint, and Nancy Moran. These accomplished and seasoned musician-actress-comediennes stand side by side, taking turns front and center to honor and pay tribute to the wacky and hectic lives of men and women with their unbridled comedic commentary. From the hysterical "Bald Headed Men" "My Kinda Man" and "Take Me Out To Eat" to the side splitting "I Remember Butter" "L.A.F.F (Ladies Against Fanny Floss)" & "These Boots Are Made for Walking," the ladies highlight their charm and heart with moving pieces such as the multi-generational "Pass It On" "Home Is Where The Heart Is" "Unconditional Love" and the Grammy-Winning "From A Distance."

Playing, piano, guitar, and bass, Sally Fingerett is one of the founding "Mothers" of The Four Bitchin' Babes, releasing 5 solo CDs, 9 Bitchin' Babes CDs, and has participated in over 20 compilation recording projects. Sally's song of compassion and equal rights, "Home Is Where The Heart Is" has been recorded by Holly Near, Ronnie Gilbert, and folk legends, Peter, Paul, and Mary for their CD and PBS special "Lifelines," and has also been published in "Contemporary Cabaret" a song book celebrating composers Stephen Sondheim, Kander & Ebb, and Andrew Lloyd Weber. Playing guitar, piano, and Irish bodhran (drum), Debi Smith has received many Washington Area Music Awards and nominations (Wammies). She has been a repeat performer on NPR's Prairie Home Companion, All Things Considered, Mountain Stage, and Radio Smithsonian and appeared on CBS Sunday Morning, Country Music Television (CMT), and the soundtrack of the Ken Burn's PBS series, "The National Parks."

Playing guitar, bass, and piano, Deirdre Flint hangs out at the intersection where folk music and stand-up comedy collide. Lauded by The New York Times and The Christian Science Monitor, Billboard Magazine says "Flint is a crack-you-up lady who knows how to deliver underdog messages with panache." With two CD projects to her credit, she has performed at The Kennedy Center, The Philadelphia Folk Festival, and has won such premier songwriting contests as The Kerrville Folk Festival and Falcon Ridge. Her wildly popular anthem "The Boob Fairy" has been featured on FX's Nip/Tuck. Nancy Moran was declared "Songwriter of the Year" by the Virginia Sound Achievement Awards and WXGI Radio and has recorded four solo CDs, including her latest titled "Something Old, Something New." Garnering public and commercial radio airplay on 80+ stations coast-to-coast, Nancy's CD's have landed her on the Gavin Americana charts alongside Delbert McClinton and Joan Baez. She's been featured internationally on radio stations in Australia, Canada, and Europe.
