Take an outstanding set of music. Add a heaping helping of humor and hi-jinx. Stir in just the right amount of torch songs. Season it with the well-played stylings of music director Peter Darling. You’ve got one heck of an entertaining way to spend the unlucky eve to that most romantic of days.

Joe works on camera in commercials, industrials and independent films, and he performs regularly in voiceovers as a narrator as well as providing character voices. After college, he pursued a successful career in government and government affairs before returning to the stage and performing full-time in the last several years. It is this breadth of experience – on and off the stage – that uniquely informs his work. Joe has appeared in cabaret performances at venues as diverse as The Prince Theatre, Mimi’s American Bistro, Mr. Henry’s Capitol Hill, Maggie’s Cabaret at St. Margaret’s, The Arts Club of Washington, Indigo @ the Atlas Performing Arts Center and the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop. His vocal training includes work at MTSU and with Wayne Kemp Vocal Studios. You can find him online at joepeck.net.

PETER DARLING
Pianist Peter Darling can be seen regularly delighting the crowds at Stars Bistro and Bar in Washington, DC. Peter’s varied keyboard skills have taken him in performance to a host of DC area venues as well as farther afield – playing, for example, at Carnegie Hall and for the Olympic athletes during the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. An outstanding solo performer in his own right, Peter is adept at and enjoys working with talented vocalists.

Mark Phillips
Magician
Mark Phillips comes from a military family which instilled in him a passion for discipline, order and psychological warfare on his younger sisters. Class clown and middle child, Mark’s first trick was the vanishing cigarette. Fortunately for him, in 1960’s Kentucky a six-year-old with cigarettes was not an unusual site. Today, Mark represents corporations large and small at trade shows around the world. His entertaining “live commercials” help his clients attract attention, deliver a concrete marketing message and generate sales leads by the hundreds. Mark has amazed audiences throughout North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and the Middle East. Locally, he has appeared at The National Theatre, The Kennedy Center, and in the Capitol Fringe Festival where the Washington Post remarked, “Mark Phillips has skill to burn.” He speaks German and an avidly plays the Vienna Horn, a musical instrument so obscure he finds a way to include it in every bio. Finally, he is a producer and performer at the Comedy & Mystery Society in Gaithersburg, MD.

Shaking the Blues Away
Hot cabaret tunes of the 1920s and 1930s, featuring Doug Bowles, Cindy Hutchins, and Alex Hassan
Doug Bowles, leader of the SingCo Rhythm Orchestra, a classic hot jazz and swing band, is joined by Cindy Hutchins, one of the DC area’s finest interpreters of the American Songbook, and Alex Hassan, internationally known recording artist of the piano styles made popular between the world wars. If the economy has you feeling blue, this is your chance to be uplifted by some of the most joyous and technically amazing music ever created – and the price is right!
