| DIVA LAVAY SMITH PERFORMS OUTDOOR CONCERT |
Lavay Smith & Her Red-Hot Skillet Lickers -+Saturday May 1, 2010 @ 7:30 p.m. Scottsdale Civic Center Amphitheater Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts will present an outdoor concert by Lavay Smith & Her Red-Hot Skillet Lickers on Saturday, May 1, at 7:30 p.m. as part of its 2010 Desert Sky Series at the Scottsdale Civic Center Amphitheater. With pin-up glamour and sultry vocals reminiscent of Billie Holiday and Dinah Washington, singer Lavay Smith leads a world-class big band while bringing a modern, provocative twist to the classic jazz and blues of the 1940s and ’50s. Whether singing her own compositions or drawing on her extensive repertoire of timeless hits and obscure gems, Smith adds her one-of-a-kind, saucy style and lyrics to the sounds of swing, bebop, salsa, jump blues and New Orleans R&B. The eight all-star members of Smith’s Red-Hot Skillet Lickers have performed and recorded with Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat ‘King’ Cole, Frank Sinatra and Tito Puente, to name a few. Based in San Francisco, Smith and the Skillet Lickers maintain a busy schedule of more than 250 performances per year, including extensive touring throughout the United States and Canada, and have released three critically acclaimed albums on Smith’s Fat Note Records label: Miss Smith to You, Everybody’s Talkin’ ’Bout Miss Thing and One Hour Mama. Concert-goers are invited to bring a blanket or low-rise folding chair and enjoy a night of music under the desert sky. Cuisine and alcoholic beverages are available for purchase from Arcadia Farms. For a more indulgent concert experience, the “My Desert Sky” package is available for an additional $39 per person. This special package includes a pass to the Hotel Valley Ho pool on Saturday, May 1, where concertgoers will spend the day relaxing before the performance. At the Lavay Smith concert, they also will enjoy comfortable lounge seating in an exclusive VIP area along with a boxed picnic dinner and wine from Arcadia Farms. Tickets are available for $25 online at www.ScottsdalePerformingArts. org or through the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts box office at (480) 994-ARTS (2787).
