Unique females in theatre feature

A concert entitled "That's That and Unique Females" will be held at Peninsula Theatre on November 25.

Artists featured will include Maureen O'Brien, Kez, Cheryl Harvey, Vee, That's That and Planetary Caretakers.

The duo That's That entertain with a mix of harmonic music, comical jazz and new age folk.

Album releases to date include "These Shoes Grow Wings" and a meditation CD "Crystal Priestess".

That's That will perform material from their upcoming "Divine Void" album.

ABC songwriting finalist Maureen O'Brien will sing songs that look at the humourous side of a women's life.

"Her CD "Many Shades of Blue" combines blues and jazz," said one half of That's That duo Ms Karen Clarke.

"Inspired by wonderful black female songwriters who wrote the blues in difficult times Maureen writes and travels the country side entertaining and bringing their stories and her stories to her audience in song."

Ms Clarke said that Kez was a soulful singer-songwriter, and that her ballads and poetic lyrics speak with emotional depth and passion.

"Creative dynamite Vee is set to surprise us. She is an artist, musician, songwriter, director and writer of the stage production Rock Chicks, a serious musician but better known for her comical and sometimes outrageous statements.

"Before the F word was commonplace, Triple J was playing her 'F-ing the way to the top".

"A strong outspoken feminist, wife and mother with a brand new electric guitar."

Ms Clarke said that Cheryl Harvey was a fiddle player who trained at Sydney's Conservatoire of Music.

"The Patsy Cline fan is a renowned country fiddler and member of Buckshot, a Tamworth golden award winner," Ms Clarke said.

"Cheryl performs on the That's That CD due for release in 2007.

"Cheryl will be gracing us with violin pieces highlighting her talents as well as taking the fiddle on to another dimension with That's That."

Local resident Phil King is accompanying on congo and djembe.

"Together with Den L Tyler displaying his skills on the electric drum kit the guys will be holding the beat while the unique women play," Ms Clarke said.

The concert will be held at the Peninsula Theatre, Woy Woy, on November 25, from 7pm to 9.30pm.
