KAREL STANDS UP! v3.3
Mon, 7/25, 8pm
$25
It was in 2008 that Karel hit the stage live with Karel Stands Up!, an uncensored, unfiltered and unhinged look at the news, pop culture and life. Biting wit, splitting comedy, painful truths and hysterical life stories (and even a few parody songs thrown in) makes this one of the most unique and relevant stage shows of its kind. Part stand up, part political satire, part song, Karel Stands Up v3.3 (year three, third show) accelerates from the intro and doesn't hit the brakes, at all, ever.

MARIA VOLONTE
Blue Tango Tour
Mon, 8/8, 8pm
$29.50
The "Blue Tango" show is Maria Volonte's exploration of the deep spiritual bond that joins tango and the blues, as two genres steeped in sin, born in brothels, censored yet always resurgent and speaking directly to our souls. Performing together with harmonica player Kevin Carrel Footer, Maria's guitar and vocals fill the stage with the illicit pleasures of tango while Kevin's blues harmonica echoes with the distant whine of the solitary blues soul.

Rarely has "The Great American Songbook" sounded so captivating as when sung by Paula West. Her rich, dusky voice has captured the hearts of critics and audiences alike. "Some voices are astringent like gin, some sweet like sherry," wrote Joe Brown in The San Francisco Chronicle. "West has a red wine voice - a deep, mellow Cabernet voice. And she's blessed with Ella-mentary precision and pitch control, too."

Known on stage and television as "Ty" in "Sordid Lives", as well as for his Top 20 Billboard dance hits, Jason Dottley returns to the stage with his debut one-man show. From stories about how the tragically sudden death of his father at 18 influenced his music at 28, to meeting Madonna, stalking Britney Spears while at Christmas at Olivia Newton-John's home, and even getting the hives from a diva'd-up Rue McClanahan, xx exposes both the humor and the sadness of Jason Dottley's first 30 years.
