CHRISTINA BIANCO Is Next On The Porch for MUSIC AT THE MANSION On June 5th

Things sure are swingin' on the porch out in Bloomfield, New Jersey! Don't worry, you don't have to actually go out to Jersey to see what's causing the ruckus, because (surprise!) The MUSIC AT THE MANSION PORCH PERFORMANCES are all available virtually! Of course, since NiCori Studios and Productions kicked off the outdoor series to provide live entertainment during the socially distanced decade of 2020, Manhattan residents have been ardently making the (easy and reasonable) trip out to Bloomfield for these intimate dinner concerts by some of the cabaret industry's most respected and in-demand performers. Each concert last season sold out and brought rave reviews from audiences, and 2021 is off to a great start. The impressive Porch Performance schedule this year has already seen Stearns Matthews pack the porch on May 8th, and Lisa Yaeger sell out (in the good way) on May 15th. Next up for the cabaret aficionados of NY and NJ is the sensational Christina Bianco, whose appearance is scheduled for June 5th.

As the dinner & a show events continue throughout the summer, home audiences near and far can participate via the virtual medium that has revolutionized the industry in the last year - a medium that every nightclub should begin to incorporate into their mission statement for the benefit of out of town devotees and homebound customers. With talent rosters like the ones created this summer and last, fans are lucky the folks at NiCori have their eye on the future.

Below, please see NiCori's original press release for Ms. Bianco's June 5th performance, the list of upcoming shows, and then click HERE for ticket information and other important details.
