Themed Programs

Dina Offers a Rich Variety of Themed Shows to Delight All Types of Audiences.

Sentimental Journey:
Songs and Stories of World War II and other popular theme shows with 1920s, 30s & 40s Hits, are presented with costumes, memorabilia, and great songs by popular songwriters like Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, George & Ira Gershwin, Rodgers & Hart, Fields and Kern and a host of others. This wonderful music is guaranteed to delight audiences and get their toes tapping!

“I frequently perform vintage music the old fashioned way — as a vocalist with piano accompaniment (tap dancing optional) or just singing and playing guitar. Other instruments can be added (up to seven pieces) for a bigger sound, and I have a swing band for dancing with many references, so feel free to ask me.”
– Dina Blade

  • NEW! Blame it on the Bossa Nova: Classic and romantic songs from Brazil: Guitarist Dina Blade plays and sings Bossa Nova, a unique Brazilian musical style with a seductive, swinging rhythm and a breezy, syncopated melody. Whereas Samba may move you to jump up and dance, Bossa makes you want to relax, sip wine and gaze at waves lapping the beach. Dina, a “Cantora Americana” (American Singer) from Seattle, has visited Brazil nine times, performing and recording with local musicians. Her 2016 cd, Bossa Amazônica, garnered international acclaim. (tech needs: 2 inputs: one guitar DI (1/4” phone jack), and one XLR input for a wireless headset)
