Performance with Bruce Harper Big Band this saturday, May 21st

If you're in the Las Vegas area, come out to the E String this saturday afternoon from 2 - 4:40 to catch the swinging 16 piece (17 including me) Bruce Harper Big Band. These performances are always a blast, and sadly, are only once a month, so don't miss it! My numbers will include Avalon, Why Don't You Do Right, Too Close For Comfort, Boogie Blues, Thou Swell, and Satin Doll.  Hope to see you there, Darlings!   Eat, drink, and swing!  And don't forget to tell me hello after the show!

Convivially yours,
The Noir Nightingale

This and that

Hello Darlings,

Nice to be back in Las Vegas and working on my home turf for a while.  Rehearsing some new tunes with Bruce Harper's Big Band, playing gigs around town with some of my favorite longtime bandmates as well as new bandmates, and lining up the songs for my next album.  I'm also enjoying just making the scene and sitting in with friends' bands, such as Chandler Judkins New Jazz Testament at the gorgeous new Mandarin Oriental hotel on the Strip.  Also look for another upcoming performance at the Rampart Casino with Art Vargas and his Vintage Vegas Live show.  Lots of music and fabulousness everywhere you look! 

Convivially yours,
Laura
