International Women’s Month Show: Lyrics from many jazz and blues tunes reflect less than ideal, (and in some cases, overly ideal) impressions of the female sex. With humor, mitigated by just the right amount of annoyance, we will have fun with these tunes and many others as we traverse the landscape of “women in song”. We will feature alternate lyrics on the tunes celebrating women and the road to progress!!!
Eve Marie Shahoian
The next duo show is with the jazz singer, Eve Marie Shahoian at Angelicas, Wednesday, March 27.
