Due to major flooding last April, Randi Driscoll and David Gurland have re-scheduled their High School Reunion Tour at Odette's Cabaret in New Hope, Pennsylvania.  They will now split the bill on Friday, September 23rd and Saturday, September 24th at 8 PM.

The cabaret marks the first time the two performers have appeared together since a high school production of The King and I.  Driscoll will perform a selection of originals and covers at the piano and is joined by her percussionist/guitarist, Noah Heldman.  Gurland will be featured with S.O.S--Schwartz, Others, and Simon, a collection of some of his favorite songs by Stephen Schwartz, Carly Simon, Rodgers and Hart and others, with Traci Stark at the Piano.

Driscoll was chosen by Rolling Stone as an "up and coming acoustic artist."  She has opened for Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Pat Benetar and Bruce Hornsby.  Driscoll, whose original music has been featured in films, commercials and the hit series "Dawson's Creek," is perhaps best-known for her song "What Matters," a benefit single that has raised more than $35,000 dollars for the Matthew Shepard Foundation. "What Matters" is featured on the new HRC release "Love Rocks", which includes tracks by Christina Aguilera, Pink, Dolly Parton and others. With performances that include stops at Lincoln Center, Montreal's Place des Arts, The Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas and extensive touring throughout the country, Driscoll is a regular at New York's Cutting Room and The Bitter End.

Gurland has performed in such first class New York venues as BB Kings, Downtime, The Bitter End, The Cutting Room, The Living Room, CB's Gallery, FEZ, The Encore, Don't Tell Mama, The Duplex, The Triad, as well The Gardenia in LA, Twiggs in San Diego and The Manor in NJ. He has also been featured in Carnegie Hall's Neighborhood Concert series for two seasons in a row. For his nightclub and cabaret performances, David has won the Manhattan Association of Cabaret's Hanson Award, as well as having been nominated an additional five times. Gurland has also won three Back Stage Bistro Awards, more than any other Male Vocalist. This past fall, he and award winning vocalist Julie Reyburn, premiered their first full "co" show after trying it out "out of town" at Odette's.  His most recent show was Neurotica, an all-Madonna mini-rock concert.

Tickets for High School Reunion Tour range from $15 to $29.50; there is a $10 food/drink minimum, and dinner is available before and after every show.  Reservations can be made with a credit card.  For reservations and directions to Odette's Cabaret, call (215)-862-3000.  Visit www.odettes.com or www.bobeganentertainment.com for more information.
