Cabaret - Featured: Leslie Lawrence; Pianist: Tom LaMark; Host: Leslie Holmes

Wednesday, February 10, 2010 - 7:30pm

Performers bring dreams, voice, sheet music and persona and try them out on a friendly supportive audience. Host, soprano Leslie Holmes, adds vignettes about the songs and composers, based on her wealth of knowledge about the history of cabaret.

Leslie Lawrence has sung all her life, starting at age 10 when she won the role of Mary Magdalene in a church musical production. Leslie played the leads in high school musicals & dramas (Nancy in Oliver, Sophia in Gilbert and Sullivan’s Patience, Pegeen Mike in The Playboy of the Western World) to rave reviews and studied theater at Emerson College. From there, Leslie's rich, soulful voice and artistic versatility in a wide array of musical styles led her to work continuously with numerous, diverse bands over several de cades performing in venues all over New England and New York, her gigs included jazz clubs, resorts, dinner theatre, weddings, social and corporate events. Leslie also performed studio work recording commercial jingles and voiceovers. Leslie now works by day as a project manager in the IT industry but continues to sing an eclectic and lively mix of music whenever the opportunity arises.

Bonerama (Brass Funk Rock from New Orleans)

Wednesday, February 10, 2010 - 8:00pm

Bonerama returns to Johnny D's after their energetic and guest-laden "Rocktober" residency! If you missed it, take a second and imagine what it would sound like if you mixed the Dirty Dozen Brass Band with The Meters. Pretty awesome right? When Bonerama struts onstage with its four-trombone frontline, you can guess it's not quite like any rock 'n' roll band you've seen. When they tear into some vintage New Orleans funk, there's no questioning from which city these guys hail. http://boneramamusic.com/ http://www.myspace.com/bonerama
