This is going to be an AMAZING show!
Star Anna, Kim Virant, Victoria Wimer Contreras, Carla Torgerson and yours truly will sing our luscious hearts out to you… performing all songs by female artists who have inspired us over the years — including some of our own original tunes. Plus there will be a delicious wine tasting by female winemakers, and scrumptious appetizers that will make your taste buds do a jig. All of this under the magical glowing eyes of the Greek god sculptures in the Neptune Theater (recently remodeled, always cool). Last year we performed this show to a sold-out crowd… Don’t miss it! Elegant, fun, tasty, soulful, and sassy! For tickets click here. For more info, click here. Come and give all of your senses a special treat for the night!
