Our Entertainers

Krisanthi Pappas

Is a nationally acclaimed cabaret singer-songwriter and has been compared to Norah Jones and Diana Krall by JazzTimes Magazine. As well as her vocal gentleness, she has the husky-voiced passion of Bonnie Raitt and the swinging playfulness of Ella Fitzgerald. Her jazz songwriting style has been compared to Randy Newman by Cadence Magazine, while her mellow pop songwriting is similar to Sarah McLachlan and Michael Buble.  Krisanthi has performed throughout New England and New York City and her Billboard®-award-winning original songs can be heard on many Television Shows and Movie Soundtracks.

Dane Vannatter

Was awarded the 2006 Bistro Award for Outstanding Vocalist by the critics of BackStage in New York. Dane has been acclaimed by reviewers at The New York Post, and The Boston Globe remarks, "Dane Vannatter's distinctive style leaves an imprint on whatever music he sings. His voice has a floating quality that gets in your head and won't leave...his music is a swinging, soaring adventure!" Dane is also the recipient of the 2000 Bistro Award for Outstanding CD for his second recording Flight. He has been nominated for 4 MAC awards and is a 2007 Nightlife Award finalist. Dane has performed in Boston, New York, Washington, DC and the West Coast.

Lisa Jason

Her show is a musical journey celebrating the legendary women of song from Judy Garland to Barbara Streisand, from Dusty Springfield to Peggy Lee, and Broadway.  Performing since childhood in dance, musical theater and as a rock and roll front woman, Lisa has been a long Cape Cod favorite performing artist and singer/songwriter and has been the opening act for Huey Lewis and The News, KC and The Sunshine Band, The original cast of the Jersey Boys in Concert, and many more.  And Cabaret Scenes Magazine says Lisa is "a firebrand of a performer who packs a powerful belt, a rapier wit, and a big heart into her petite frame."

Songwriter Harriet Goldberg

Krisanthi Pappas, Dane Vannatter, and Lisa Jason will each be performing a few songs by Boston area songwriter Harriet Goldberg.   Harriet's music has been used for TV and has been featured at the Boston Association of Cabaret Artists (BACA) Songwriter's Showcase, Scullers and the Regattabar as well as New York City cabaret venues including Metropolitan Room & Don't Tell Mama.  Beverly Creasey of The Theater Mirror writes "They say they don’t write ‘em like that anymore but they’re wrong.
