Vocalist, Jaye Maynard, recently competed to the semi-final level in Madison Wisconsin's Overture Center's Rising Star Talent Competition and will perform at San Francisco's Society Cabaret at The Rex Hotel with the show in May of this year.

In addition to the house baby grand at Etcetera Etcetera Jon Delfin will accompany Maynard on Blossom's last apartment piano, which she discovered and purchased on Ebay after Dearie bequeathed it to the Manhattan Association of Cabarets. Maynard interprets "The First Blossom Dearie Songbook", containing songs written for and by Dearie in collaboration with Johnny Mercer, Bob Dorough, Dave Frishberg and Mahriah Blackwolf, arrangements by Mike Renzi. Maynard is now representing the posthumously published "Blossom Dearie Songbook" for Hal Leonard Music.

The show had its theatrical debut at NYC's United Solo Theater Festival on Theatre Row, has played The Cornelia Street Cafe in Greenwich Village and The Laurie Beechman Theater and Metropolitan Room here in NYC following its Los Angeles premiere Upstairs at Vitello's Red Carpet Jazz, as well as Sterling's Upstairs at the Federal Bar in North Hollywood and more recently at The M Bar, Hollywood and Don't Tell Mama-NYC. In May she will play San Francisco's Society Cabaret.

Maynard styles her show as a mid-Century modern NYC supper club act ala 1962. Known throughout the world as "a musician's musician," Dearie was a unique and inimitable singer; sophisticated and genuinely funny, whose legacy of material remains fresh, hip, smart and sassy.
