and from KYE!  yay!  we all need to go to this!

AIN'T MISBEHAVIN
 featuring:
 Kye Brackett
 George Bell
 Vonetta Mixson
 Marie Kelly
 and
 Deidra Lang
 
 
So here's the poop: The show is called  AIN'T MISBEHAVIN and it's a 5 person musical revue of the music of Fats Waller who did stuff like This Joint Is Jumpin, Tain't Nobodys Business, Fat and Greasy and I Can't Give You Anything But Love.  Now considering that there are only 5 people (2 of them men) and it's a 2 hour show, you'll get to see me do some cool shit with some really awesome and talented performers, and two or three tunes alone. The music is great, and anything else is just an added bonus.
