Today's Pandemic Playlist is just the boys and girls. No groups, no specialty acts, just the women and the men who step out onto the stage and sing for their supper. These are some of the best, some you'll find on many a nightclub stage, some can be clocked traveling back and forth between the theater and the cabaret. Whatever journey each of these artists takes to get to the mic doesn't matter - all that matters is that they get to the mic... and the audience, because these ten are something to see.

MAC and Bistro Award winner Dawn Derowpresents Gypsy in My Soul: the Songs of Eydie Gormé on Saturday, March 14 at 9:30 PM at the Beach Cafe.

During the 1950s through the 1970s she was one of this country's most admired yet underrated women singers. Derow will also welcome some surprising guest vocalists, with music director Ian Herman at the piano.
