B.B. Berg

Description

I sing low down sensual, throaty blues and cool jazz. I've even taken the liberty of writing lyrics for Henri Mancini's "Pink Panther" and have my own burlesque style version and lyrics to Harlem Nocturne ( now on Spotify and Amazon music!) My audience loves the sensual, tongue and cheek lyrics.
I am not just a jazz/blues singer as I involve my audience in the Merry-Making and they leave feeling REALLY HAPPY. Acclaimed author and founder of Ms. Magazine – Gloria Steinem wrote about my show at Greene Street N.Y.C.
“B.B. Berg is a singer who could only happen now -
Tough and vulnerable,Se ... rious and funny, Sensuous and strong.
She leaves her audience happier and better people than they were when they came in.”

Biography

I have been a professional singer, dancer and actor for over 30 years. ( And Yes I am still young at 65! I've been performing in a variety of venues including night clubs, concert halls and stadiums in New York City, N.Y. Las Vegas, NV and Europe especially Barcelona, Spain where, among many other venues, I was the resident Jazz Singer in the Ritz Carlton Hotel.
My repertoire includes: Jazz standards, Rhythm and Blues, Traditional Blues and New Age Fusion.
I wear Huge Spectacular Wings in my show and get everyone involved! Having Studied Belly Dance for many years it is also a natural ... part of my show to move and dance along with the music providing an entire visual, musical delight for my public.
I can also sing and perform in English, Spanish and French. I believe that my greatest talent as a performer is my ability to deeply touch the hearts of and involve in my show every single member of my audience.
