We begin at 7:00 and end at 9:30. If you would like to sign up to perform, see one the evening’s ‘Mamettes’ to fill out a card with your name, the name of your song, whether or not Mark will be playing for you and any upcoming events you’d like to promote. We do not present performers in order of sign-up, however, indicating requests as clearly and as early as possible as far as time restraints are concerned always makes everything much more possible. 

    ALWAYS BRING SEVERAL SONG SELECTIONS to avoid duplication. All types of material, on or off theme are always welcome at Salon. We enthusiastically welcome instrumentalists, poets, playwrights, essayists, comics, illusionists and performance artists. Please limit your selections to three or four minutes in length (including patter). Please also bring clear, complete charts for Mark to read. Flash photography is not allowed. Please turn off all noise making devices and give performers your undivided attention.

    $10.00 cover charge (cash at the door) and a 2-drink minimum (cash or credit).

    Videography available for an additional fee.

    Eric Comstock & Barbara Fasano are sure to give you all the warm & cozy feelings with their special Christmas Set, “Baby, It’s Warm Inside!”

    Eric Comstock & Barbara Fasano

    “Baby, It’s Warm Inside!”

    with Sean Smith, bass

    and Vito Lesczak, drums

    “Exhilarating, smart, suave & utterly delightful … Mr. Comstock & Ms. Fasano are turning the neighborhood into a hotbed of pleasure.” ~ The New York Times

    “Masterful … they take it to a whole other level.” ~ The Wall Street Journal

    Birdland Resident Artists Eric Comstock (piano/vocals) & Barbara Fasano (vocals), whose electrifying combination of warmth, wit, swing, and sensuality have made them the nightclub world’s most celebrated team, are every bit as entertaining as they are musically savvy. Join Eric & Barbara for the holiday weekend as they blend winter favorites with the best of Broadway, Hollywood, the pop and jazz songbooks, and the singer/songwriters: from Cole Porter to Paul Simon, Duke Ellington to Joni Mitchell, Sinatra to Sting. It’s always a terrific party where the music and the stories are equally great.

    Although this married musical duo has been compared to Bobby Short and Lena Horne, Fred and Ginger, and Lunt and Fontanne, the “golden couple’s” style is all their own, with a wide choice of material that brings the generations together. Winners of 8 MAC Awards, 5 Bistro Awards, and The New York Nightlife Award, Barbara & Eric have headlined from London to Lincoln Center, and the Algonquin to Carnegie Hall. During the pandemic, their weekly series #72andsong has been streaming on social media. In October, they received the 2021 Donald F. Smith Award from the Mabel Mercer Foundation, acknowledging their rank as preeminent pop and jazz song stylists. Joining them will be renowned bassist/composer Sean Smith & eminent drummer Vito Lesczak.
