Burlesco Notturno HOT
Falling on the weekend of Beltane, Burlesco Notturno HOT calls to mind the ancient May Day festival of optimism fertility and fire  a celebration of the power of heat and new beginnings, falling into place as the sun waxes its way strongly into summer.

Madame X, along with her trusted companion The Lawyer, returns with extraordinary (or brilliant) brand- new inspirations that burn with passion and incandescence. And to help light everyone's fires, she has gathered FOUR of the very best and brightest burlesque performers of our region  twice as many as any other Burlesco!  Add to this a doubly charming aerial act, a sultry Vashon voice, and the sizzling music of The Love Markets, and you have a night on Vashon that will be hotter than the Sahara!

Burlesco Notturno HOT will be unveiled on Saturday, May 2. Doors open at 7pm; the show begins at 8pm.

A select number of VIP tables are available for groups of 4 or 8. The Burlesco VIP experience is truly sumptuous, including tantalizing food from La Biondo, lovely wine from The Hardware Store, and delectable chocolates from Azula - plus reserved seats right up front to enjoy the show! And as the Burlesco performers come out to visit after the show, their first stop will be at the VIP tables, where they will be available for photos and visiting. VIP tables are $200 for a group of 4, and $400 for a group of 8; only available online, through brownpapertickets.com.

General admission is $25 in advance and $30 at the door. Advance tickets are available at Vashon Bookshop and brownpapertickets.com. Burlesco Notturno is open to audiences 21 and older.

And now, for a more intimate peak at the talent who will soon be winging their way to the Open Space Grand Hall

THE LOVE MARKETS make songs for a world in which we are all on the market, looking for love against a backdrop of loss, greed, and political corruption. Fronted by singer-songwriter Angie Louise, their music mates the decadent bite of Weimar Berlin with the swirl of a circus underworld and the funk of New Orleans blues. Since their birth in 2008, the Love Markets have donned their uniforms of military lingerie to perform at ACT (all three stages), City Arts Fest, Seattle Art Museum, Seattle International Cabaret Festival, Town Hall, Sandbox Radio, TV's ArtZone and many more. This is their sixth performance with the enchanting Burlesco Notturno series. In 2013, The Love Markets released their debut album World Of Your Dreams, described by Seattle Magazine as "Irresistible... Intoxicating theatricality... A deliciously dark carnival."

The Love Markets are: Angie Louise (vocals, songs, keys); Robertson Witmer (accordion); David Marriott Jr. (trombone); Dave Pascal (bass); Chris Monroe (drums).

Since she can remember, Azula has been singing, growing up in a house always filled with music, whether it be from her mother's love of classical music, and all music Italian and Magyar/Bohemian/Gypsy, her father's love of Barbershop Quartet Choirs, or her Grandmothers, one who loved opera, the other, Sunday Choir.  While studying classical vocal training as a mezzo-soprano colorotura at Hope College in Holland, Michigan, she became entranced with Jazz and Blues, and the Global Music Scene. She continued to study foreign languages and moved to Europe to study where she lived in France and Austria, and was exposed to the languages and music of Eastern Europe, going deep into her Hungarian ancestry. She has performed nationally at various venues, with repertoires including Edith Piaf, jazz and blues, Spanish, and Fado, expanding into performance art pieces and projects with musicians and composers in Chicago. Azula sings in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Arabic among others, and is studying independently to complete a sound healing certification course.
