About the Birthday Performers:
Roy Davis: After a 15-year hiatus from singing, Roy will be... oh, who are we kidding, I, yes me, will be singing some jazzy tunes for the first time in forever. I'm putting this cabaret together to celebrate my move back into music with friends and family, on my birthday, in a space that I feel at home at, 2A.
I'm inviting some wonderfully talented musicians to express their art and celebrate. Surprise, surprise.. a friend and incredibly talented singer, Andriana Santiago, shares the same birthday! Clearly cause for a double birthday cabaret!
Andriana Santiago: WOW! Thanks ROY Birthday buddy! To be doing my Favorite thing EVER, SINGING, on my birthday! With my friends present is the GREATEST Gift of all. Puns completely intended.
Be ready, because all of YOU are a part of the show. I will be creating half the repertoire of songs live with YOU and your participation. I will also share some new originals from a special story I will tell. No matter how many times you've seen me perform live, each show is unique and you will never experience the same show twice. I thank you in advance for joining me on a journey of imagination, love, loss, joy and mystery!
Please do not bring gifts, instead please donate to my humanitarian trip to Africa (PayPal/Venmo AndrianaSantiago@gmail.com) or join in on the SONG A DAY 11-Day CHALLENGE to help raise awareness and funds for World Peace and Reconciliation's Peace Education and Clean Water initiative for the Panyadoli Secondary School in Uganda. I have been creating a daily song for over 900 days now, to inspire us in finding the joys in the everyday truths of life by SINGING them! I will be heading to Uganda in April 2018 to bring electronics, books, create binders full of educational materials and share team building exercises and my comedy and music workshops with students and teachers. Currently, I am producing some projects, and lesson planning peace club activities. If you'd like to join the song a day challenge let me know! #SONGaDAY.
