With superlative vocals and musicianship, dynamic enthusiasm and a genuine love of the music they perform, The Bronx Wanderers create an energetic bond with their audiences, ensuring an evening of dancing in

the aisles, toe-tapping, and clapping all night long. The Bronx Wanderers authentically re-create the hits made famous by the likes of those Jersey Boys – Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons; Dion; and the classic hits of so

many others from the beginning of DOO-WOP and Rock ‘n’ Roll in the ‘50’s and ‘60’s, and even to the music of today.

The sound of the Jersey Shore comes to The Duncan with more than thirty albums, a box set, thousands of live performances

around the globe, dozens of classic songs and a legion of dedicated and enthusiastic fans! Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes commanded the nation’s attention in the mid-1970s, emerging

from the same New Jersey Shore music scene as his now legendary contemporary and friend Bruce Springsteen. In 1982 Rolling Stone

Magazine voted “Hearts of Stone” among the top 100 albums of the 1970s and 1980s. With their classic blend of hard-core R&B

and street-level rock, molten grooves, soulful guitar licks and blistering horn section, Johnny and his Jukes continue to put their unique stamp on the Jersey Shore sound, while recalling the glory years of Otis Redding and similar Stax Records titans. The Steve

Van Zandt-written “I Don’t Want To Go Home” became Southside’s signature song, an evocative mixture of horn-based

melodic riffs and sentimental lyrics.

The Triumphant Return of Meow MeowSaturday, February 16, 2013 @ 8PMIndIvIdual TIckeTs: all seaTs $27

Laugh in the face of imminent cat-astrophe as the world’s favorite feline, Meow Meow, makes her Palm Beach debut with her provocative brand of deliciously nontraditional cheer with New York maestro Lance Horne on piano and Ian Graindage on cello. Named top ten “Best of Cabaret” by Time Out New York, “cabaret diva of the highest order” by the New York Post and “A phenomenon… nothing less than revelatory” by the Australian press, the “Post -post- modern cabaret diva” Meow Meow has wowed audiences globally with her unique brand of kamikaze cabaret and performance art exotica. Wildly entertaining and a fearless tour-de-force, Meow’s stunning musicality takes you on a journey through the portals of old Shanghai, pre-war Berlin, and gay Paris set in a post-modern world dragging cabaret kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

“She is sensational. 5 Stars.” – The London Times

“Meow’s parody of glitz is part of a package that also includes physical comedy, social commentary and a brilliantly eclectic repertoire. To witness the postmodern cabaret diva Meow Meow in concert is to risk emerging just a little bit scratched. No one is safe at her show, least of all the deliciously deranged performer herself ” – Time Out New York

“ a deconstructive tour de force that turns cabaret inside out… Once heard, the sound of Meow shredding her voice is never forgotten. Whereas many performers turn cabaret into camp, Meow’s driven, extreme style, underscored by clever stagecraft and a political sensibility, rekindles the genre. Her shows blaze a wild trail through European masters like Brel and Brecht, while referencing such out-of-field oddities as Dolly Parton, Chinese courtesan songs, Piazzolla’s tangos, and Hong Kong pop kitsch.” – Peter Huck, The Age
