I couldn’t be more proud to have The Furys as our band for Nitro!🎸The members of The Furys are not only highly accomplished musicians but are also the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. Here’s a little more about them!✨ The Furys are a “Desert Surf” band, comprised of Jacob Jakerson (guitar), Hank Norush (bass), and George Palenzuela (drums), and are influenced by the sounds of Dick Dale, The Lively Ones, The Pyramids, Duane Eddy, and The Ventures. In Nitro, The Furys will be covering your favorite 50’s & 60’s rock and surf, along with some smokin’ Furys originals in the mix!🎶And, each burlesque performer has chosen their music, costume, and choreography to create an act uniquely their own! You won’t want to miss this exciting show!!!⚡️ #retrolesque #thefurys #surfband #surlywenchpub #tucsonevents https://www.instagram.com/p/CoI3KoRv-M2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Let’s take a gander at our next dreamy dame in Nitro🎸 - it’s Tucson’s Troublemaker, Taryn Garters! ⚡️ Taryn Garters is known for tearing up stages with her signature smirk! From funny to fierce and everything in between, this glam goofball combines her background in theater with her love of dance, storytelling and taking off her bra. Taryn has performed and competed in festivals and shows across the country, most recently winning “Keepin It Weird” at the 2022 Oregon Burlesque Festival. She is the executive producer of Entice Burlesque Productions, part of the First Fridays series at the Surly Wench Pub in Tucson Arizona. #tucsonburlesque #retrolesque #thefurys #furyssurfband https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn49IWPvgkO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Start your engines for Nitro!🎸Our first spotlight is an absolute master of the art of burlesque and will have you on the edge of your seat with excitement! (but you’ll only need the edge)😉I can hear you applauding already for her - it’s delightfully dynamic Desiré d’Amour!✨ Desiré d’Amour has been performing burlesque for over 20 years. She found her inspiration when visiting the Burlesque Hall of Fame museum in 2000. She joined one of the first burlesque troupes of the neo-burlesque scene, Dane's Dames the same year. Later, as a solo performer, she graced some of the top stages in burlesque such as VaVaVoom Room, Lucha Va Voom, Rock & Roll Strip Show, Tease-o-rama and BHoF / Miss Exotic World. But don’t just look for her on the stage…her burlesque calling continues behind the scenes. Aside from being part of the BHoF Weekender production team, she has produced shows in San Francisco and Tucson, and helped start Tucson's first burlesque troupe. Her proudest achievements are the work she does as Vice Chair of the Board and CFO for the Burlesque Hall of Fame and BHoF Weekender. And she loves to share her tassel and fire tassel twirling expertise to teach others the art of burlesque. Desiré lives, breathes, works - and twirls - burlesque! #surlywenchburlesque #tucsonevents #retrolesque #livebandburlesque https://www.instagram.com/p/CnNNAHSPD2z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
