The Lascivious Biddies bring New York City “cocktail pop” to Walton Arts Center
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS, August 2007- Walton Arts Center welcomes the Lascivious Biddies for three special performances this month. The all-female “cocktail pop” quartet will be performing ON STAGE in Baum Walker Hall on Friday, August 24 and Saturday, August 25 at 8 p.m. Tickets prices are $25. Audiences will take their seat on stage for a musical experience like no other. The quartet will also perform their mommy & me concert, Itty Biddies, on August 25 at 2 p.m. in Starr Theater. Ticket prices for Itty Biddies are $14 for adults and $9 for kids. In the Itty Biddies performance, the group will give an entertaining, interactive children’s concert that will have everyone clapping, snapping, shouting an singing along to original and classic children’s melodies. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Walton Arts Center box office at 443-5600 or visit www.waltonartscenter.org.
The band includes pianist Diedre Rodman, guitarist Amanda Monaco, singer Lee Ann Westover and bass player Saskia Lane. The group, which performs classic and original music, contains a published author, a Julliard graduate, a multi-linguist and a former circus performer. On their collective resumé, The Biddies have shared the stage with musicians such as Elvis Costello, Natalie Merchant, Enya, Debbie Harry and The Jazz Passengers.
The four New Yorkers have been earning rave reviews for their unique, cutting-edge and witty sound. Their music tells stories straight out of the city in a fresh musical style. The band is making headlines for having an energetic and tightly woven live show full of humor, expert musicianship and a dash of sentimentality.
The Lascivious Biddies have been touring across the nation, winning over fans and critics along the way. The Austin American Statesman called the group “jazz’s answer to female singularity,” after a South by Southwest performance in 2005, while the Washington Post hails them as “Manhattan’s hippest girl group.”
The Biddies and their music have been featured on The Food Network, The Discovery Channel, Fuse TV, a national TV commercial for Chili’s Restaurants and a segment on CBS Evening News. They’ve also been heard on NPR, dozens of local radio stations across America and internationally on the BBC.
The Lascivious Biddies are a part of the Walton Arts Center’s Coca-Cola Night Out Series with media support provided by AY Magazine.
