For 19 years Sinatra DeVine Productions has been producing show-stopping variety shows highlighting up-and-coming Drag Queen performances in celebration of National Coming Out Day. This show has always been on the cutting edge when “drag” was only considered taboo. Our last show was in 2016, and fans and supporters have been “aching” to be part of that fabulously dragalicious experience once more. Chaz Malibu and Fontana DeVine will again serve as your hosts with the most. Come see past entertainers and newcomers, and remember and celebrate the lives of those whom we have lost. Take out your boa, crowns, high heels, and wigs…the higher the better. See you for this one-night-only event!

Emporium & JAW Present Tommy Emmanuel

“Songs are our teachers. They show us the depth of the human race and its unrelenting desire to create.”—Tommy Emmanuel
Any time you talk to any of Tommy Emmanuel’s fans, whether musicians or audience members, invariably they will speak of not one but two qualities that define his greatness. The first, predictably, is his extraordinary guitar playing. Tommy is considered by those in the know to be among this planet’s greatest guitarists, and his playing is simply miraculous, as it would take three musicians, or more, to do what he does solo. Who else, for example, when playing “Day Tripper,” can lay down the rhythm part, dig into the riff, and sing the melody all at once with just one acoustic guitar?

Which brings us to the other aspect of his music that is always mentioned, and without which the first might not be as powerful or as infectiously appealing: the joy. Yes, joy. Because it’s one thing to play these multi-dimensional arrangements flawlessly on an acoustic guitar. But to do it with that smile for the ages, that evidence of authentic, unbridled delight, is an irresistible invitation to feel his music as deeply as he does. “The joy,” he says, “is there always because I’m chasing it through music. Seeing the surprise in people’s eyes is worth living and working for… I can’t help but play to the people with all my heart, which is overflowing with joy of being in that moment that I’ve worked all my life for. And here it is!”
Although his musical expression is instrumental, he comes to the guitar much more like a vocalist, positively singing melodies through the strings. He inhabits the tunes he performs, delivering every nuance and turn of phrase. His own songs are also illuminated always with lyrical melodies that go right to the heart, such as his beautiful ode to his daughter, “Angelina,” or his great “story without words,” “Lewis & Clark.” That they resonate so deeply without words makes sense, as words only go so far. But music, coming from a genuine and joyful source, can go so much farther. Now with The Best of Tommysongs, he brings us a complete collection of his own songs, all richly melodic and rendered with joy in real time.
“When I was a kid, I wanted to be in show business. Now, I just want to be in the happiness business. I make music, and you get happy. That’s a good job.”—Tommy Emmanuel

From Bamako to Birmingham: Amadou & Mariam and Blind Boys of Alabama

$36, $46 & $56
Approximate time of event: 2 hours including intermission

The Blind Boys of Alabama are recognized worldwide as living legends of gospel music. Celebrated by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) with Lifetime Achievement Awards, inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, and winners of five Grammy Awards, they have reached the highest levels of achievement in a career that spans over 70 years. The Blind Boys are known for crossing multiple musical boundaries with their remarkable interpretations of everything from traditional gospel favorites to contemporary spiritual material by songwriters such as Eric Clapton, Prince, and Tom Waits. They have appeared on recordings with many other artists, including Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel, Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson, Aaron Neville, Susan Tedeschi, Ben Harper, Patty Griffin, and Taj Mahal.
For the past forty-odd years, Amadou & Mariam have managed to joyfully combine their love story with a musical career while becoming, discreetly but surely, the most famous ambassadors for Malian and African music around the world. They carry this status with brio, and challenge it playfully with each new album. They have collaborated with many diverse artists and worked with producers who might seem far removed from their universe, such as Damon Albarn of Blur and Manu Chao. They have invited the most accomplished artists who are building tomorrow’s pop music to play on their lively songs (Santigold, TV on the Radio, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs), and their tracks have been remixed by Yuksek, Vitalic, Henrik Schwarz, Miike Snow, and Ashley Beedle, underlining their intrinsically danceable quality. Amadou & Mariam have also played the world’s biggest festivals, from Coachella to Glastonbury, and opened for huge bands such as Coldplay and the Scissor Sisters. By enriching their Afro-pop canvas with new pigments, as well as introducing the richness and subtleties of African music to the world, the duo has brought this music to the charts and to the dance floor.

Danny Zelisko Presents Lewis Black: Off The Rails!
Known as the KingofRant, Lewis Black uses his trademark style of comedic yelling and finger pointing to expose the absurdities of life. His comedic brilliance makes people laugh at life’s hypocrisies and the insanity he sees in the world.
A GRAMMY Award-winning stand-up comedian, Black performs his critically acclaimed shows more than 200 nights annually, to capacity audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. He is one of a few performers to sell out renowned theaters including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooks Atkinson Theatre, New York City Center, and the main stage at the Mirage in Las Vegas, with a sold-out Broadway run at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City. Since 2014, Black has done over 400 live-streaming shows, called The Rant Is Due, at the end of each of his stand-up performances.

Adding his own unique style, he delivers audience-written ”rants” that have been submitted from the fans at his shows and throughout the world. These rants are now available on his podcast, Rant Cast. Black is the longest-running contributor to The Daily Show on Comedy Central. He has presented comedy specials on HBO, Comedy Central, Showtime, and Epix. In 2001, he won the award for Best Male Stand-Up at the American Comedy Awards. His newest special, Thanks for Risking Your Life (streaming premiere October 6, 2020) was his last live performance before the COVID-19 lockdown. Black has released eight comedy albums, including the 2007 GRAMMY Award-winning The Carnegie Hall Performance. He won his second GRAMMY Award for his album Stark Raving Black, and has published three best-selling books, Nothing’s Sacred (Simon & Schuster, 2005), Me of Little Faith (Riverhead Books, 2008), and I’m Dreaming of a Black Christmas (Riverhead Books, 2010).
In 2012, he performed eight sold-out shows at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, as well as performing one of his two HBO specials, Black on Broadway. In 2015, Black portrayed the character of Anger in the Academy Award-winning Pixar film Inside Out. A published playwright, he has written over 40 plays, and has had his work performed throughout the country, at venues including the A.C.T. Theatre, the Magic Theatre, The Williamstown Theatre Festival, and The Public Theatre. In addition to his professional pursuits, Black dedicates his time to a number of charitable organizations including the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, The Rogosin Institute, and The 52nd Street Project. A seasoned USO tour veteran, he is deeply committed to supporting our troops, and has performed for the troops on three Christmas tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
