Review: The Groovy Sounds of the 60's and 70's Resound at 54 Below

This reviewer was thrilled with Carole J. Bufford's groovy and fabulous trip back through the years! If only the walls could talk they would tell of all they heard on this cool evening of September 4, 2024 at the famed 54 Below. Bufford joyously took the audience on a trip down memory lane with her show, Come Together - When the 60’s Met the 70’s.

BWW Review: Antonia Bennett Proves She's a Force to Be Reckoned With In Cafe Carlyle Debut

If you're not already familiar with Antonia Bennett, her current Cafe Carlyle run and venue debut are quite the introduction. As the daughter of a famous father, Bennett grew up surrounded by quality music and performers, and it was at an early age that she began adding her own voice to the mix. For 10 years she performed with Tony Bennett as his opening act, and she is featured on his album A SWINGIN' CHRISTMAS in a duet between the father and daughter. But the truth is that the name Antonia Bennett rings familiar with fewer people than her father's. The concrete reason for this has some room for debate--- perhaps it's just that music-listening culture has changed, or maybe it's because she's younger and hasn't performed as much in a solo setting. The reason doesn't matter so much as the fact that Antonia Bennett is a performer to watch, and her Cafe Carlyle performances are proof of that.
