On Friday, August 5 (8 p.m.) and Saturday, August 6 (7 p.m.), the sumptuously talented Leanne Borghesi returns to Feinstein's at the Nikko with her new solo show, BDSM (Beautiful Dirty Sexy Me). After her sold out appearances last Fall with her smash-hit show LUSH (SF& NYC), Borghesi returns with a twist, whipping her strengths, truths, fears and desires into shape with a daring new solo show! Under the direction of Nicolas Minas (NYC), this powerhouse femme leads the audience through songs from prim and proper to sexy from the 20's-40's, Broadway, Jazz and Pop, with significant focus on the original Red Hot Mama - Sophie Tucker. Accomplished Musical Director, Michael Ferreri (NYC), joins the evening to lead a swingin' trio featuring San Francisco's finest - Roberta Drake on drums.

Making her Feinstein's at the Nikko debut, Suede will perform songs from her five current albums, as well as tunes from her upcoming release. Imagine a cross between Adele, Diana Krall and Bette Midler and you'll be approaching some idea of Suede's powerful presence, musical talents, and well honed skills, let alone her immense joy in entertaining. Suede plays piano, guitar and trumpet, but voice is her first instrument and entertaining is clearly her first love.
