Lost your lust for life? Feel like you were born to die? Teardrops on your guitar? Maybe you need to calm down, shake it off, and sing and dance along to the soundtrack of your life!
Local vocal powerhouses Cara Brindisi (NBC's 'The Voice') and legendary chanteuse Niki Luparelli supercollide in a headliner double feature, amidst an absolute party of drag and burlesque performers, to celebrate Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey with an explosion of live band covers at the Somerville Theatre Main Stage on Saturday, July 8, at 9 p.m.
Take a midsummer break from playing video games and getting high by the beach and ride to the Somerville Theatre for an exhilarating evening of drag, burlesque, and the hits of Lana Del Rey and Taylor Swift performed LIVE!

More about the singers!
Cara—described as “perfect” by John Legend and “hypnotic” by Blake Shelton—will employ the entirety of her phenomenal vocal range, along with her trusty guitar and killer live band, to channel Her Swiftness.
Niki—praised by Jane Lynch: “Amazing! YES, REALLY!”, and by the The Monkees’ Davy Jones: “Wow, You smell really good!” — has expanded her usual backup band (known for her live band/burlesque tributes to Bowie, Zeppelin, Stevie Nicks, and Pink Floyd) by adding a string quartet and harp, to form the electrifying twelve-piece Summer Sadness Orchestra!
