Natasha Miller: Dates

Monday, December 19th, 2011

Yoshi's SF

After a year-long sabbatical, San Francisco Bay Area jazz vocalist Natasha Miller will perform at Yoshi's in San Francisco on Dec 19, 2011 in celebration of her annual holiday concert. She will perform selections from her Holiday CD The Season and other winter and holiday inspired repertoire. Joining Natasha will be Paul Mehling on guitar (Hot Club of San Francisco), Tal Morris on guitar and mandolin, Sam Bevan on bass, Beth Goodfellow on drums as well as a host of other musicians and surprise performances. Natasha's concerts at the holidays are more like a variety show, she's been known to have a marching band come through the audience, have her father perform "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and invite guest artists up on stage. You never know what she'll introduce next!

Teatro Zinzanni @ Pier 29

Cabaret Lunatique, an edgy late night Saturday series of "saucy burlesque, music and mischief" will be presented in the Teatro ZinZanni tent on October 11 & 25, and November 8 from 11:30 p.m. - 2 a.m. Doors and lobby cocktail service begin at 11 p.m. Hosted by the one and only Mexican Elvis known as El Vez, the irreverently hip and boldly decadent show will feature a constellation of wild and wacky talented performers ranging from magicians to singers, and from clowns to contortionists, complete with music and dancing, special cocktails and a delectable bar menu.

Pi Clowns The seven-member clown troupe Natasha Miller, delightful jazz singer Deviño a veteran of Yoshi's and the Monterey Jazz Festival Joseph D. Holt with his own version of Diablo, Devilsticks and Poplockin' Dance
William Bunn, smooth ballads from longtime chef in Teatro ZinZanni's kitchen Joren Dawson, Sadie and Marta Henderson with table hoop diving Ember Bojangles in an enchanting act of contortion Ariele Ebacher, a classic and modern dancer on the tight wire Adam Kuchler, internationally renowned juggler

Pulling the strings for this va va voom show evoking a bygone era of adult vaudeville, will be the one and only El Vez, the Mexican Elvis -- El Rey de Rock 'n' Roll, and the only "impersonator" ever sanctioned to perform by the notoriously tough Elvis Presley Enterprises. He has been taking care of business and preaching Elvis love and Chicano power since he was old enough to dress himself in gold lame.
