LINDA KOSUT
By Any Other Name (pairing songs with the same titles across genres and decades)
What is "By Any Other Name"? Given that songwriters can name their songs the same as other tunes already published, there are many songs with the same names - take "Time After Time" written in 1947 by Sammy Cahn & Julie Styne or was it written by Cyndi Lauper in 1984? How about "All By Myself" written by Irving Belrin in 1921, or maybe that was written by Eric Carmen in 1975? In her new show, Kosut and her band will mix up unexpected arrangements of jazz, pop and folk.

Faith Winthrop
at the Mercy of Mercer!
In celebration of Johnny Mercer's invaluable contribution to the world of music, (Moon River, Come Rain or Come Shine, Skylark,) Faith lovingly sings the lilting and irrepressible lyrics of this master tunesmith. And then, there is Mabel Mercer, a "singer's singer" and legend, for whom Cole Porter and Bart Howard wrote songs for her to introduce, (Love for Sale, Fly me to the Moon.) Homage is paid to her, as she was one of Faith's own musical mentors. Rounding out an already marvelous mix, Faith introduces several of her own new songs of wit and wonder, making for a full evening of song.

KIM NALLEY
Let The Good Times Roll
If you are not in a bon ton roulette frame of mind, then you've come to the wrong show, because feisty songstress Kim Nalley gives a jazz/blues thrill to New Years Eve that few performers can match, in the Bay Area or anywhere. San Francisco Chronicle says she has "pipes to burns and works the stage like she means it." A powerful blues singer, a jazz stylist who can put her stamp on American songbook standards, a soul drenched vintage R&B master, Nalley defies all categorization.
