Gold Coast Jazz & Blues: Marissa Burgess

It is Bastille Day and time to celebrate in a style that only the French can do! Our French celebration will feature Marissa Burgess who will transform you to Paris by Night - it's legendary charm and its ladies of the night; the Bombastic kick line of the Can Can and coquetry with all performers in full costume.

Marissa Burgess is an internationally renowned singer, dancer and producer with a long list of credits to her name. Marissa performed in a starring role at the Moulin Rouge in Paris for 17 years, earning her many accolades as a dancer with a natural stage presence. Marissa sings, dances, and moves with a grace which one would expect of a classically trained artist. She glides and moves about the stage with ease, taking the audience with her as she leads them down the path of a story told in song.

Marissa will be joined by her band led by Les Woodford performing songs from French artists including Edith Piaf, Charles Aznavour, Serge Gainsbourg, Sacha Distel, and Eartha Kitt. Marissa and her dancers will bring the glitz and glamour of a Parisian revue; jewel adorned showgirls; feathers galore and the Can Can.

The theme is Burlesque Boudoir so grab your feather boa and top hat and join in the fun!!
