StLJN Saturday at the Movies:
Claudia Acuna sings "My Man's Gone Now"
plus Chris Botti's "My Funny Valentine"



This week's videos showcase a couple of performers who will be coming to St. Louis later this month.

First up is singer Claudia Acuna, who's returning to the Gateway City on Friday, January 18 with the Pablo Ziegler Quintet for New Tango as part of the Ovations series at Washington University's Edison Theatre. This clip shows Acuna doing her version of the Gershwin Standard "My Man's Gone Now."
