Kim Massie: A Tribute to Aretha Franklin

Food by Gourmet FoodWorks Deli

“When Kim Massie sings her brand of Jazz and Blues, her voice gently grabs your soul and leads it someplace where inhibitions melt and smiles are currency. She hits notes tenaciously enough to karate chop through oak and emits chords tender enough to lull a newborn baby” D. Bass, STL Post Dispatch

Kim Massie, a St. Louis musical icon serves up a platter of Blues, Jazz, R&B, Gospel and Funk with sweet, sassy and soulful sounds. She is proud to have shared the stage with blues greats, Oliver Sain and Bennie Smith, Piano Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Johnny Johnson and rocked the STL riverfront with Cyndi Lauper.

A gifted vocalist, musical actress and corporate commercial artist, she has received numerous awards and acclaim including “Ain’t Nothing But the Blues” and “Damn Yankees”-(STL Black Rep).

Kim performs nationally and in Europe to her many great fans in the corporate, public and private arenas. She is a true storyteller in song and stage persona. She makes her audiences laugh and cry while she hugs the rhythm of their hearts.

Ticket to the Beatles: A Tribute to the Beatles

Food by Café Manhattan

The timeless classics of the Fab Four live on with the authentic sounds of TICKET TO THE BEATLES.

The band formed in St. Louis, MO in 1997 when Baker Symes (keyboards, guitar, vocals) and Dave Bohannan (guitar, vocals) got together to “play some Beatle tunes.” Wayne Givens (bass, vocals) joined a short time later adding the third harmony vocal and his unique take on Paul McCartney’s tunes. With the addition of Jim Laverty (drums), the band was complete. When Dave left the group, the search was on for our new “George”. Finally, after a death-defying and harrowing escape from the Blue Meanies, George Smith arrived on a flaming bundt cake, passed the audition and officially joined the band in May 2005.

It's getting better all the time!

TICKET TO THE BEATLES has played just about everywhere since its inception. Festivals, nightclubs, race tracks, country clubs, casinos, picnics, weddings, birthday parties, et.al.

With TICKET TO THE BEATLES a splendid time is guaranteed for all!
