Music Legend and Two-Time Grammy Award Nominee Martha Wash Returns to Feinstein’S at the Nikko FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Kevin Kopjak | Charles Zukow Associates 415.296.0677 | [email protected] MUSIC LEGEND AND TWO-TIME GRAMMY AWARD NOMINEE MARTHA WASH RETURNS TO FEINSTEIN’S AT THE NIKKO TWO PERFORMANCES ONLY! JUNE 29–30, 2018 SAN FRANCISCO (May 9, 2018) – Following a sold-out engagement in 2014, music legend and two-time Grammy Award nominee Martha Wash returns to Feinstein’s at the Nikko for two performances only —Friday, June 29 (8 p.m.) and Saturday, June 30 (8 p.m.). Ms. Wash’s music career spans genres from pop to dance to R&B, and is responsible for some of the most celebrated music to ever hit the airwaves, including “It’s Raining Men,” “Sweat (Everybody Dance Now),” “Everybody, Everybody,” and “Carry On.” In this intimate evening, Wash will perform songs from throughout her more-than-three decade career. Tickets for Martha Wash range in price from $48.75–$85 and are available now by calling 866-663-1063 or visiting www.ticketfly.com. The highlights of Martha Wash’s career create a colorful history, telling the story of dance and pop music from the days of disco to the present. She has toured and performed with the world’s top entertainers. In addition to her work with countless superstars, and Martha’s projects with Black Box and C&C Music Factory, she was half of the magnificent duo Two Tons of Fun, which evolved into the Weather Girls with the release of “it’s Raining Men.” Martha’s voice has dominated the airwaves, and her charisma and spirit has embraced millions of people around the world. She is responsible for some of the top-selling, most recognizable pop hits of the 80s and 90s. “It’s Raining Men”, the cult pop classic, is still heard everywhere… the radio, movies, commercials, TV. “Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)” was the highlight of C&C Music Factory’s career, and sold 5 1/2 million copies worldwide. Black Box’s Dreamland featured four #1 Billboard Dance singles and three Top 40 hits including “Strike It Up”, a single that continues to receives massive airplay and is still heard at every NFL and NBA game everywhere! All of the above have achieved major success and all have one common denominator— Martha Wash. She is the heart and soul of dance music. Martha Wash began her musical career at the age of two in her parents’ church in her native San Francisco. She went on to study opera and tour Europe while still in high school. Martha became part of a contemporary gospel group called N.O.W. (News of The World) and the mix of classical and gospel training accounts for her seemingly effortless transition, from ballads to dance music to pop. In addition to her vast career in pop music, Martha has also starred in major theater productions, and has recorded numerous jingles and movie soundtracks (“Kiss Me Guido,” “The First Wives Club,” “The Mighty Ducks,” “Gun Ho”). Her latest LP, “Something Good,” is a collection of new music from Wash in a different vein than her old favorites. While the new album contains music that is sure to please longtime fans, it is more of an alternative pop-rock journey. This new record showcases her staggering impetuousness and optimism – not to mention her flawless, intonations – unlike any she has recorded before. Most recently, Wash launched her brand-new YouTube webisode series, “10 Minutes with Martha Wash,” featuring an eclectic mix of interviews, musical performances and fan Q&A. Produced by Martha’s own entertainment brand, DO-KWA Productions, and Executive Producer and Emmy winner James Washington, this series will offer a fascinating look into the life of Ms. Wash, the entertainment industry and the stars and personalities who make it so intriguing. Wash is also a producer on First Ladies of Disco, a new stage musical focused on the lives of women who pioneered chart-topping music of the disco era. The production will be based on the internationally popular book First Ladies of Disco, the first of a published six-volume series by New York-based author James Arena, which initially chronicled the lives of 32 dance music stars. Like the book, the musical will weave together the dramatic stories of women whose powerful voices helped make disco a worldwide phenomenon. Discussions among the parties involved are exploring locations, including New York City, the possibility of bringing in the actual singers to play primary roles, and the fusing of original and classic songs into the storylines. Martha also stays busy with her charity work, as spokesperson for “QSAC Inc.,” a non-profit organization providing comprehensive services to individuals with Autism and their families, “You Can Play Project,” a not-for-profit dedicated to ensuring equality, respect and safety for all athletes, without regard to sexual orientation and the Huntington Arts Council, a not-for-profit that inspires lives and minds through education, entertainment and intellectual motivation, ensuring each of us a place for expression and creativity. Located within Hotel Nikko (222 Mason Street, San Francisco), Feinstein’s at the Nikko presents a wide range of entertainers from stage and screen all within an intimate 140-seat cabaret setting. There is a $20 food and beverage minimum per person inside the showroom which guests can use towards cocktails as well as a variety of small plates crafted exclusively for Feinstein’s at the Nikko, through Restaurant Anzu.

  • Best Gay Songs: 30–21 30
    Best gay songs: 30–21 30 “City Grrrl” by CSS Bad girls and gay boys have always been besties, and this 2011 track from Brazilian combo Cansei de Ser Sexy is a loving ode to that special relationship. Lead singer Lovefoxxx looks back on adolescent fantasies of "being busy with my job and my gay friends, laughing and drinking with my one-night stands" in the "big city." Anyone who's ever felt trapped in a small town (and eventually escaped) will definitely relate. —Ethan LaCroix Download on Amazon www.youtube.com/watch?v=duOA3FgpZqY 29 “Your Loving Arms” by Billie Ray Martin Most gay dance anthems are packed with drama of both the lyrical and vocal variety. But in 1994, German singer Billie Ray Martin invaded clubland with this icy floor filler that's so calm she almost seems detached. Don't let that near-monotone fool you, though—Martin is a formidable vocalist, and when she finally cuts loose ("Burning inside, burning inside, yeah!"), it's a master class in the art of delayed gratification.—Ethan LaCroix Download on Amazon www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVukIhibLYM 28 “Viz” by Le Tigre Before forming her dance-DJ-production project MEN, JD Samson stepped up to the mike as a member of this electro-rock trio. "Viz" (2004), about butch-lesbian visibility, offers an early glimpse of Samson's sly humor and her ability to make radical queer politics into dance-floor fodder. Bandmates Kathleen Hanna and Johanna Fateman join in on the final chorus for a joyous feminist sing-along.—Ethan LaCroix Download on Amazon www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMcCNzUyG5I 27 “The Jean Genie” by David Bowie The copper mullet, the lightning bolt across the face—in 1972, Bowie was at the peak of his androgynous alien phase, pushing Ziggy Stardust closer to the sun until he incinerated in a flash.

In the beginning, the story goes, disco was gay: Gay dancers went to gay clubs, celebrated their newly liberated status by dancing with other men, and discovered a vicarious voice in the form of disco’s soul and gospel-oriented divas. Received wisdom has it that straights, having played no part in this embryonic moment, co-opted the culture after they cottoned onto its chic status and potential profitability.
