NYC nightlife promoter Daniel Nardicio joins forces with Thirsty Girl Productions in curating a series of downtown divas and uptown at Feinstein's at The Regency. This "Downtown Series" includes cabaret stars Bridget Everett, Natalie Joy Johnson and Amber Martin, New Orleans songstress Ingrid Lucia, plus up and coming cabaret stars Molly Pope, comedian Cole Escola, and Angela Di Carlo. .

The series kicks off Feb 13th with the luscious New Orlean's native Ingrid Lucia, and her traditional New Orleans Jazz Band brought up from the Big Easy for the show to celebrate Mardi Gras. Lucia is best known as the lead singer of the cult band The Flying Neutrinos. Introducing Lucia will be drag sensation Bianca Del Rio who is also a New Orleans native.

Next up is Bridget Everett Feb 19th. She is best known for her lyrics and over the top antics. Opening for Everett will be powerhouse vocalist Amber Martin.

Feb 28th is the modern cabaret star Molly Pope who is joined by Logo TV star and Youtube sensation Cole Escola, and the 29th brings Angela Di Carlo, who's Mad Men musical parody, The Mad World of Miss Hathaway. And lastly, Broadway's own Natalie Joy Johnson, who originated the role of Enid Hoopes in Legally Blonde.

For this series Nardicio brought on co-producer Jen Gapay, aka Thirsty Girl Productions, who is responsible for the New York Burlesque Festival as well as co-produced Amanda Lepore's CD release concert last year with Nardicio, and and among various other ventures, the original founder of the Siren Music Fest in Coney Island.

The duo hope to bring a whole new audience to Feinstein's at The Regency, as well as expose the performers to new fans. "I love Feinstein's at the Regency. Our goal here isn't just to do a short series- it's to bring a whole fresh generation of talent to this amazing venue." says Nardicio.
