Pin Key Lee (S.F.)
Pin Key Lee is a hot little blonde trouble maker from the gritty streets of the Barbary Coast. She will tease you with her shimmy shake and dazzle you with the carnival tricks she plays. For the past two years this hoochie-coo tramp danced with the San Francisco based burlesque troupe called Kiss Que C'est. This year she is packing up her ripped stockings and rhinestones and rambling around the country solo-style. First she'll be competing at Viva Las Vegas in April, and by September she will be in New York City for the Coney Island's Cockabilly Festival. You'll be picking glitter out of your teeth for weeks after Miss Pin Key Lee is through with you. Please help us welcome the traveling solo artist for the first time to Big Top Bottoms Up view more at www.myspace.com/lubelips

Lucky Lucy O'Rebel
"Lucky Lucy O'Rebel is a pint sized pinup with a little charm and a whole lot of attitude. Hailing from the Emerald Isle, when not on stage you will find her watching a Red Sox game with a bottle of Jameson like any other classy dame, so as you can imagine she thrives in the month of March. This little hellion has brought her energy and enthusiasm to every performance and is sure to tease her way into your heart with hypnotic shimmy and shaking and classic sex appeal." This show, Lucky Lucy O' Rebel is bringing us the early St. Patrick's Day celebration. For more on this performer visit.... http://www.myspace.com/alltheluckyouneed

Boy & Bean
Boy and Bean got their start in Washington state in the winter of 2008. Luke and Amber Short began this husband and wife duo with one song, "Bei Mir Bist Du Schon." Luke Short plays guitar and lends his unique harmonies to the group. He has been performing and writing music since the age of fifteen. Boy & Bean are looking forward to the release of their debut album early 2009.
Amber Short was born Amber Clark in Westwood California. She grew up surrounded by black and white film and the warm crackly sounds of the 20's, 30's and 40's thanks to her mother Margie, who was born during the depression. Amber grew up singing in school choirs but alway longed to do the music dearest to her heart. Luke and Amber married in December 2005 and have since worked several odd jobs to make ends meet including the merchant marines. They are now making an all out effort to make music together. Their inspiration lies in the vocal styles of The Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald, The Boswell Sisters, Bing Crosby, The Andrews Sisters, Louis Armstrong and a host of other legendary musicians. They are currently expanding their set list and looking forward to working on an album together. It's music or bust!
Boy and Bean the husband and wife songsters are available events of all natures. They can be reached at (253) 232-2560 or via http://www.myspace.com/boyandbean
