By:

Originally from Canada, (she's big in Winnipeg) Vicki Knight moved to the Desert area in the early eighties and wasted no time making a name for herself in Southern California, quickly being dubbed 'The Desert's Songbird'. On Sunday, January 16, 2011, Ms. Knight will present her latest cabaret show, Song From The Heart, featuring her fans most requested songs: "Put On A Happy Face", "Make Someone Happy", "On A Clear Day", "As Long As He Needs Me", "Mame", "If He Walked Into My Life", "Where Do You Start?". "Little Girl Blue", "How Deep Is The Ocean?", "Kretchma", "Don't Tell Mama", "Maybe This Time", and more, along with stories and patter delivered in the comedic style that's become her trademark.

Highlights of her career are numerous and include: The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies; appearances at The Lawrence Welk Theater; and featured roles at The Palm Canyon Theatre. Her one-woman cabaret shows have been seen at The Rock Garden, The Wilde Goose, Peters, Sun City Palm Desert, and Blame it on Midnight, in addition to special events, private parties and fundraising concerts for The Stroke Recovery Center and The Jewish Federation of the Desert, and has received many awards and nominations from the Desert Theater League.

Vicki Knight's "Songs From The Heart" is part of the successful cabaret concert series presented at the Joslyn Center's Arthur Newman Theatre since last July by producer Les Michaels and Life Is A Cabaret Entertainment. Joining Ms. Knight will be local pianist Joel Baker. Show time on Sunday, January 16th will be 2 PM with box office opening at 1 PM.
