CABARET CARAVAN INVADES PALM SPRINGS

Entertainer Les Michaels brings to Palm Springs, California, Saturday, January 11th, the first-ever, CABARET CARAVAN. A Palm Springs resident, Les hosts the highly successful Cabaret Open Mic Mondays in the lounge at THE LOUNGE at VERMONT (1714 North Vermont Avenue, Hollywood, CA - 323-662-6263). Described as "a Progressive Party with singing," he expects a large turn out due partly to the advanced coverage already received from all the local press and the ads placed by all the venues.

The group will be made up of dozens of the brightest stars on the Los Angeles cabaret circuit. Scheduled to appear are Greg Dobrin, Lorraina Marro, Deborah Downey, Nomi Lyons, Kiela Mellot, Keri Kelsey, Michael Taylor Gray, Wayne Sutton, The Kitchenettes (Linda Kosut, Lua Hadar & Eryka Raines), Peggy Judy, Lotte Trouble, Robert Glenn, Carole Stuart, Marrianne Ferrari, Joanne Tatham, Troy Skinner, Kitty Ultrasound, Kevin Kennard & Coley Grundman.

The tour will begin at the RAINBOW CACTUS (212 South Indian Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA) at 5:30 pm, where the group will be introduced to the first wave of audience members. There, they will warm up around the piano bar with Lori Donato who will follow the group to the other venues and act as accompanist to the group. Rainbow Cactus manager, William Wakely is very excited and has arranged for appetizers for the entire group as well as the audience.

Moving on to the BAMBOO LOUNGE in the Racquet Club of Palm Springs (2743 North Indian Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA) at 7:30 pm where Manager Berit Reistad says she is anxious for the visitors to see their new cabaret showroom that is opening soon. The next stop at 9:30 pm is the WILDE GOOSE DINNER THEATER (67938 Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA). Damian, the manager has been filling this popular club with big names and their $35 dinner/show packages.

The last stop on the Cabaret Caravan will be 11:30 pm till closing at BLAME IT ON MIDNIGHT (777 East Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs, CA). Peter Hamlin manages this restaurant and nightclub and is looking for new acts and is sure to be taking note of our singers.

In keeping with the Mardi-Gras theme at BLAME IT ON MIDNIGHT, Les will be providing everyone, including the audience, with a different color string of Mardi-Gras beads at each stop. By the end of the night, they will have a full set of colorful beads which will demonstrate to the managers just how big a crowd we drew.

There will be no cover charge collected at these venues and the singers will not be paid, but hopefully this will be enough to convince them to hire talent from our group for their venues.
