The jazz inspired musician covers a wide array of forgotten musical greats and surprises her audience with fine arrangements of Latin classics and original song. "With a laid-back European feel and a breezy, sensual voice, Nathalie Alice's music sweeps you along the Seine River and puts you right in the middle of a sidewalk Parisian cafe. She really knows how to create a mood - and once you've arrived there, you never want to leave. Magnifique! " ~ (Christina Suwa, LIFETIME NETWORKS)

Evan Skrederstu
The 2011 Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau displays the first-ever graffiti-inspired label designed by renowned Brooklyn artist “Kaves.” To continue this trend, celebrated street artist Evan Skrederstu will be creating a Beaujolais Nouveau-inspired artwork live at the event.

Evan Skrederstu was born in Los Angeles. At the age of thirteen, he became fascinated with graffiti and participated in the movement. He slowly made his way from the Freeways and the Los Angeles River into the entertainment industry, working with clients ranging from commercial Art Directors to Disney and museums. While working as a scenic painter he also took part in body painting events such as Howard Stern’s private birthday party and began painting bugs and working on "The Ulysses Guide to the Los Angeles River" with longtime collaborator, Christopher Brand.

The book, released in 2008, was a great success. The art from the book was highlighted in its own museum show at the Pasadena Museum of California Art and was praised in various publications such as the Los Angeles Times and the Wall Street Journal.

Presently Evan continues to explore new techniques, mediums and concepts in order to better his work. He also tattoos professionally at the world famous Good Time Charlie’s. His work deals with a vast array of subject matter usually encapsulated in a concrete or a tropical setting.

CLARA BIJL

Clara was born in Paris, France, raised in the Alps, attended schools in Germany, and Switzerland, and South Carolina;and then one day, she moved to New York City to begin a career in stand-up comedy. Performing all around the BigApple and the rest of the country, she became a prolific writer of cutting, witty international flavored comedy. She was a semifinalist in Comedy Central's Laugh Riots competition, she performed in Holland’s “The Comedy Factory TV show,”the 2005 and 2006 New York Underground comedy Festival, the 2008 Detroit International Comedy Festival; and she wrote for the hit Swiss TV show, “Le Petit Silvant Illustré.” Recently, she started performing for the national chain of Improv Comedy Clubs. Clara currently lives in Los Angeles.

Betsy Bogart displays a rare combination of talents: in addition to performing all over the world as a professional recording artist and prize-winning songwriter, she is also an educator who has taught French language and culture at Los Angeles area universities.

Betsy sings in English, Spanish, German, and Italian, but given her unique background, it comes as no surprise that she specializes in French and Francophone popular songs. She brings her own artistry and a touch of California style to classics recorded by such artists as Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Charles Trenet, Gilbert Bécaud, Julien Clerc, and others.

A multi-talented vocalist and musician, Betsy accompanies herself on piano, electric keyboards, or guitar. With a folk rock style often compared to singer/songwriter greats Carly Simon, Carole King, and Stevie Nicks, she is equally at ease singing jazzy standards, the blues, and her own compositions. Her songwriting talents were rewarded with Grand Prizes from both the American and Music City Song Festivals.

Betsy often performs for special events, but also entertains at French restaurants such as Chez Nous in Toluca Lake, Marché Moderne and Pinot Provence in Costa Mesa, Frenchy’s Bistro in Long Beach, l’Hirondelle in San Juan Capistrano, and Brasserie des Artistes in West Hollywood. Some of her favorite venues, however, are school and university auditoriums and classrooms, where her special gifts as a teacher and musician allow her to combine elements of language, music, and history in an entertaining, interactive experience for students of French.

A unique entertainer who projects warmth and intimacy in venues of any size, Betsy’s humor and enthusiasm combine with superb musical and language skills to delight any group or event.

The professional world-class singer, creative writer, tap dancer who wasawarded the most prestigious Lavoisier scholarship in France to study musical comedy. Ginger is presently working on her dreams to sing her own songs in her own cutting-edge musical, and become a pioneer in the field of Entertainment, Music and Arts. She is enthused to participate to the transformation of this planet and share her joy to the world.
