Debbie Reynolds – Live in Concert – Sat., Sept. 11, 2010

Debbie Reynolds, a true living legend, opens the 2010-2011 season with an intimate evening of music and comedy. From “Singin’ in the Rain” to her Academy Award-nominated performance in “The Unsinkable Molly Brown” and her Emmy-nominated role on “Will & Grace,” Debbie Reynolds has entertained audiences around the world for 60 years.

For over six decades, our lives have been enriched by the talents of a singer, dancer and actress we know as Debbie Reynolds. Born Mary Frances Reynolds on April 1, 1932, in El Paso, Texas to Raymond Francis Reynolds and Maxene Harman Reynolds; her brother Bill was just a year older.

Debbie’s primary focus is on her nightclub act. She is reinforced by the love of her children. She is grandmother to Carrie’s daughter, Billie Catherine, who is fast picking up Debbie’s talent for dialects and impressions, and loves to sing. Billie Catherine prefers to call Debbie Aba Dabba, instead of grandma.

Danny Harper Jam Session – Tues., Sept. 7, 2010

Churchill Grounds is an intimate place similar to a European lounge. Its candle-lit tables and pictures of jazz legends on the wall help make it a shrine to jazz. It attracts some of the city’s best musicians like Joe Gransden, Russell Gunn, and WCLK radio personality Riva Blue. Producer and actor Tyler Perry used the venue as a setting for his 2005 film “Diary of a Mad Black Woman.” Part of Churchill Grounds’ appeal is the musical melting pot along with the different styles of jazz such as vocal jazz and bluesy jazz. Dior Metcalf of bestofatlantaconcerts.com says “I’ve loved this place since the first time I stepped in the door. It’s a good place to go to reconnect with your sanity.’’
