From Bakes Place:

"Greta Matassa is perhaps the most adored jazz performer in the region and Bake’s fans certainly can’t seem to get enough of her. So, we at Bakes Place are very excited to announce “Fridays in the Living Room with Greta”, a new concept show, which will take place every week, starting in the New Year. These will be fun and spontaneous evenings, based loosely on the old Dean Martin variety show, and with Greta holding court, they will feature musical guests, occasional comedians, friends sitting in and Greta taking audience requests -always a crowd favorite! “Fridays in the Living Room with Greta” will include special tributes to dignitaries from the local music scene and will also feature some of Greta’s most popular “theme” shows, such as “Ella & Billie” and “Light Out of Darkness: A Tribute to Ray Charles.” The shows will change week to week and there will always be room for surprise guests, musical mayhem and other unexpected shenanigans. With a nod to the old-school variety show and a healthy dose of high-octane fun, this is certain to be the hottest ticket in town. Join us!"
