We just came out of Latte Mix Studios in Santa Monica where we’re cutting a demo. Special thanks to Adrienne and Susan for their hard work in the engineering booth. Rock on, ladies!
I just finished another vocal session with film composer Steven Stern and Grammy Award-winning producer and mixing engineer Ted Greenberg.
I’m also gigging around town with The Four Belles, a four-part girl group singing hits from the 50s and 60s.
We got a rave review, and the public has spoken. Back by popular demand, The Taffetas run has been extended through September 17th. Come and see Peggy, Kaye, Donna, and Cheryl in their fabulous dresses and hairstyles LIVE on stage at the West Valley Playhouse. Call (818) 884-1907 for tickets and showtimes.
The Los Angeles Times gives a thumbs up “recommended” review to The Taffetas.
“Kathi Funston gives enthusiastic Peggy straight-faced humor and potent chops…When the charming stars…tackle their vocals and director-choreographer Noel Britton’s frisky moves in crisp harmony, the limits of the chiffon-thin concept dissolve.”
West Valley Playhouse proudly presents four dazzling starlets from Muncie, Indiana who are about to sing and dance their way into America’s living room!
