LINDA KOSUT
and
NANCY TIERNEY
WHEN THE NATIVES GET RESTLESS

Monday, June 14, 2010 • 8pm

BMI/Bistro Award winner & MAC Award nominee jazz and cabaret vocalist LINDA KOSUT began a new 6-show series at The Rrazz Room at the Nikko Hotel with her sold-out concert this past March 22.  Kosut dons “two hats” for this series – those of producer and performer.  As producer, she has invited other performers to debut at the Rrazz Room – from New York, Seattle and San Francisco.  As performer, she will as well perform, sharing the stage with her invited guests. Kosut is known for her rich, warm vocals and her engaging presence, as well as her versatility. As Cabaret Scenes says, "Kosut delivers her material with assured delight in a husky alto combined with a flair for augmenting the theatricality of each number."

When Nancy Tierney (affectionately named the "Diva of the North Bay") upped and moved to New York in 2009, her Bay Area fans were devastated. And now, at the behest of Kosut, Tierney is coming "home" to give her fans a taste of that very special Nancy Tierney style.  Linda, a native New Yorker who’s put down roots in California, and Nancy, a native 4th-generation Californian who’s recently moved to New York … well, there’s some fun to be had by Linda and Nancy as they explore, in song, this bi-coastal transplant concept.  "A truly wonderful performer... A performance by Nancy is an experience of the senses. She draws you into the show, not only because of the quality of her talent, but her stage presence pulls you in and keeps you completely entertained and captivated." - Ted Williams, KJZY/KZST Radio.

The Band: John Simon, piano; Tom Shader, bass; Alan Hall, drums; Tony Malfatti, horns.
