Ever since our Women's History Month celebration we can't stop honoring Brave Women!

In celebration of the upcoming Martin Luther King Day,

we are celebrating two brave women in the Civil Rights Movement!

Rosa Parks

Coretta Scott King

Civil rights activist Rosa Parks was born on February 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Alabama. Her refusal to surrender her seat to a white passenger on a Montgomery, Alabama bus spurred a city-wide boycott. The city of Montgomery had no choice but to lift the law requiring segregation on public buses. Rosa Parks received many accolades during her lifetime, including the NAACP's highest award.

Coretta Scott King was an American civil rights activist and the wife of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. She established a distinguished career in activism in her own right. Working side-by-side with her husband, she took part in the Montgomery Bus Boycott and worked to pass the Civil Rights Act. After King's death, she founded the Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta.

HEART OF A SATURDAY NIGHT

An Evening of Tom Waits

With

ELLEN KAYE & JED DISTLER

Saturday, January 31st

8:30pm & 10pm

Grapefruit moon, one star shining,

shining down on me

Heard that tune, now I'm pining,

Honey, can't you see

Cause every time I hear that melody,

something breaks inside

Grapefruit moon, one star shining

can't turn back the tide

- Written by Tom Waits -

After many years, Ellen and Jed are coming together again to revel in Tom Waits. They both share a deep love and abiding affection for Mr. Waits' work.

When they first met at Sarah Lawrence in 1979 they performed Grapefruit Moon together.

In 1998, on the CD 2 AM, they recorded his songs

Eggs and Sausage and Muriel.

Over the years Distler and Kaye have taken their

Tom Waits renditions from

The Monkey Bar to the Angry Squire,

to Cornelia Street Cafe and beyond.

On January 31st they'll be exploring new tunes and immersing themselves in their old favorites as well

as they look deep into The Heart of a Saturday Night.

UN WOMEN

Cheryl Benton, founder of The Three Tomatoes and President of the NY Chapter of the US National Committee for UN Women, first saw Ellen performing When I Was A Boy at The Metropolitan Room in Chelsea. Inspired by Ellen's performance, Cheryl invited her to perform at the 11th Annual UN Women Luncheon in March 2012.
