A True TriState Treasure...
An intrepid troupe of your favorite A-List performers have teamed together in order to bring your guests a full-frontal, no-holds-barred, multi-genre, vocal extravaganza!
BEVERLY BLAIR - With her plaintive purrs and soaring crescendos, Ms Beverly is right at home as a principle vocalist of Cincinnati's legendary band... The Avenues. Beverly is in constant demand for public appearances. It's always a pleasant surprise when "Whisperin' Bev" shows up to sing with her many musical friends. (Look very closely the next time you watch the "We Are The World" video). Beverly is also a pianist of note, and has quite a flair for Feng Shui. Make sure that you "arrange" to witness Bev's incredibly amazing talent arsenal.
CATHI RICE - Demure and soft-spoken, Miss Cathi is every inch a lady. If you have not yet heard Cathi, nothing can prepare you for what is in store… Cathi can caress a sensitive lyric with an almost angelic tenderness and then, scant seconds later, erupt like a full-tilt vocal volcano. Ms Rice is also a noted romance novelist who writes under a pseudonym (that you would surely recognize), She is also a great cook! Cathi is happiest when sharing her precious gifts with others. Cathi serves as the inspiration and principal vocalist for The Wild Rice Musical Revue. Do your guests a favor and act now to make arrangements so you may soon experience this singular entertainment phenomenon.
JEANNE BLESSING - Jeanne's talent was discovered while she was 'lost" duringa family picnic at Cincinnati's Coney Island amusement park as a child. Her parents were frantically searching for their lost four-year-old daughter and found her surrounded by a group of ”adoring fans" as she exuberantly belted out "Joy to the World". She continued to pursue her performing talent through her grade school and high school years.. Jeanne has delighted audiences across the nation while touring as a featured actress in several theater productions. You also may have seen her as one of the stars of the Rip-Roaring Roller Derby League, Jeanne's artistry and talent have brought her to be a featured vocalist with the crowd-pleasing Cincy Rockers. We are thrilled to have her as a member of this company. Jeanne is more than ready for her close-up!
BOBBY HARLOW - A man of few words, but each of those words are golden. There seems to be no end to the talents of Mr. Harlow... Bobby was a founding member and served as leader of the legendary "Hot Wax" show band. As if that weren't enough, he is one heck of a square dance caller. Here's a little known fact... Because of his perfectly proportioned pedal extremities, Bobby is constantly sought after as a foot model. High-profile magazines, catalogs, TV commercials, and radio. If you've seen any ads for socks, sprays, ointments, or corn pads you have undoubtedly seen Bobby's work. (Actually, the right foot only. That extra toe on the left is a bit off-putting). Anyway, we are as pleased as punch to have this young man as a member of VocalPalooza.
BOBBY LEWIS (misterbobby) - Whether in the role of blissful balladeer, hard rocker, soul master, country crooner, or blues shouter; misterbobby leaves no doubt that he is… “the genuine article” and clearly one of the best in his weight class. Bobby is often accompanied by his amusing alter-ego known as "Pig Foot". Say, do you remember Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose? Bobby enjoyed several years touring as a featured member of this million-selling recording act. The group’s list of hits on the United Artists label included….“Its Too Late To Turn Back Now” and “Treat Her Like A Lady”. Bobby speaks very fondly of those days (But never mention Niagara Falls around him. It could get quite ugly).
JERRY FIGHTMASTER - Jerry brings an understated elegance which other singers envy. Tristate audiences have been awed by Jerry's appearances with The Avenues and his work as principal tenor for The Wild Rice Musical Revue. Jerry's disarming smile, and the lush, honeyed tones of his romantic ballads do little to prepare one for the rumbling earthquake of vocal power that he can bring forth. at the drop of a hat. CAUTION: The ringing of loud bells can cause Jerry to flashback to his days as "Coco Butter", a flamboyant wrestling villain, (believe me, you do not want that). His signature move was the "Coco Butt" Consider yourself warned!
DIRTY RICE is well-equipped with several levels of P.A. configuration and small area lighting.
