I have often mentioned my beloved friend Shelly Goldstein, whom I count among the most talented people I know…and I know some damned talented people. Shelly is a fine writer of comedy and a fine vocalist of songs. She combines these things at which she's so fine into a cabaret show called "How Groovy Girls Saved the World." It was great when she performed it to sold-out crowds here in Los Angeles. I see no reason to think it won't be as great or greater when she performs it on Saturday, August 3 at Studio 5 in Evanston, Illinois.
You will love it if you love female vocalists of the sixties like Petula Clark, Mama Cass and Jackie DeShannon. You will love it if you love funny songs because Shelly intersperses the hits of the sixties with her own compositions. If you love both those things, you will go and never leave.
You can get ticket information here. I will probably not be there because Studio 5 is 2,034 miles from my house and after my recent trip to North Carolina, I'm giving up air travel for a while. Shelly's show might almost be worth crawling that far. I guarantee you no trauma counseling will be necessary.
