Sterling's Upstairs at Vitello's in Studio City, CA is pleased to announce its October roster of headliners.  Critically acclaimed as LA's premier supper-club, located at the legendary Vitello's Restaurant, Sterling's Upstairs celebrated the beginning of its second year of operation on June 9, 2007, and is known for its dedication to presenting the best of Broadway Performers and Nightclub Artists. As a result, the prestigious organization Cabaret West has cited Sterling's Upstairs as its "Spotlight" Feature for September and October 2007.

Sunday, October 7: Tiba! As distinct and unusual as her name, Tiba is the unique product of the merging of generations. A New Orleans native, she was raised by parents who collected and restored jukeboxes, so Tiba grew up exclusively to the sounds of such legendary performers as Glenn Miller, Dean Martin, Sam Cooke, Elvis Presley and the Platters. A distinctive song stylist, Tiba is what we like to call a "female crooner." She pays tribute to her unique upbringing and to the era that helped shape her identity in her show Jukebox Baby. Her current hit CD "Jukebox Baby" is available on the Fynsworth Alley Label.
