StLJN Saturday at the Movies:
Erin Bode's "Graceland," plus
Jeanne Trevor sings "At Last"



This week's videos showcase two singers from different generations who are both popular attractions on the St. Louis music scene. First up is Erin Bode, who's got a new CD coming out next month, singing her interpretation of Paul Simon's "Graceland." The clip was recorded recently when Bode and her band performed at the Nighttown jazz club in Cleveland, and although the video is bit dark, the audio quality is good.

The second clip features Jeanne Trevor, who's been entertaining local audiences since the Gaslight Square era, performing her rendition of "At Last," a song that has become a standard thanks mainly to the familiar version recorded by Etta James. Pianist Kevin Kurth, who, like Trevor, has worked frequently in musical theater as well as in clubs and concerts, provides the accompaniment.
