The
brainchild of belly dance sensation Amanda Borba and musical mastermind Brian
Bonell, and brought to life with the help of creative partners Kelsey Covington
and Leisl Bonell, The Underground Gypsy
Cabaret is a unique club night created to feature local and touring
underground musicians and an assortment of dance, cabaret, burlesque and circus
performers. Throughout the night, the
audience will experience a variety of exciting and exotic performers that can
include belly dancers, contortionists, aerial and trapeze artists, burlesque,
magic and illusion, juggling, fire dancing, sword swallowing, and more, all to
live music! It is an evening of unbridled
passions, pulsating rhythms and undulating melodies spun together with the
elemental energies of Gypsy magic. It is a night of pure celebration!
The music
for The Underground Gypsy Cabaret is
driven by Utah’s own underground acoustic Gypsy edge band Juana Ghani who, according to indie music reviewer, Oliver Arditi
of LiveUnsigned, creates “soulful, open, inviting, generous music, both
spiritual and sensual, full of love, death, sex, grief, passion and
vodka.” Juana Ghani's music is a
marriage of Old World traditions and Rock-n-Roll energy all wrapped up in the
dreams of Gypsy legend. It is at once lively and dark, always teetering
on the edge of sanity and taunting Imagination's greatest landscapes.
Bringing the
night of Friday the 13th to an ecstatic climax is Salt Lake City’s
vagabond Gypsy Americana band Hectic Hobo
presenting a live show that immediately engages the audience, sucking them in
and not letting them go until the last cymbal crashes and someone throws water
in their face. Hectic Hobo is the fun
that everyone wants to have but doesn’t dare.
Theo McNamatar of The Regal Seagull has said, “Hectic Hobo makes you
feel you’ve been at a Devotchka concert on an Irish pirate ship. And you will do anything to keep from getting
back to port.”
Opening the Underground Gypsy Cabaret will be Salt
Lake City’s own underground jazz band HaywireOutfit.
Featured performers for this Underground
Gypsy Cabaret include the dazzling Master of Ceremonies Jeremy Young, underground
goddess Pamela Offret, the breathtaking aerial artist Hope Phoenix, belly dance
beauties Amanda Borba and Kelsey Covington, the entrancing fusion of the Lunar Dance
Collective, the macabre sorcery of Crepsley the Magician, the sensual strength
of pole artist Xandra Motley and many more exciting, spine-tingling acts.
Glen Warchol of the Salt Lake Tribune declared the Underground Gypsy Cabaret to be “Big Fun in a city short on that
commodity.”
The Underground Gypsy Cabaret is
sponsored by Ogden’s Own Underground Herbal Spirits and SLUG Magazine.
