A well established presence in the Asheville music scene, Blues, Jazz, Soul & R&B Chanteuse Peggy Ratusz and her array of musical configurations (Daddy LongLegs/Swing Daddies/Lotion or Trio)perform an infectious, sultry, multi-layered brand of original, traditional and modern Blues, Soul.

Mrs Hughes began her comedy career when she was forty. “Years ago I heard Merv Griffin interview Phyllis Diller, and she said she started doing comedy when she was thirty-nine. I remember saying to myself, ‘I could do that.’

“Later, I met comedienne Candy Carr at Weight Watchers and she said ‘Write five funny minutes and go to the Improv.’ I already had five funny minutes, so I went. It was terrific! I remember the MC saying, ‘Go for it Mama! You’re funny!’ I got a huge ovation and I was hooked.”

As for her husband, she says, “He’s very supportive, but I believe he thought comedy would be like that afghan I started. I’d work on it for a while, lose interest, then stick it up in the attic with the exercise bike.” Neither of them expected her career to take off so quickly and have this much staying power. Mrs Hughes now has fans all over the world, some of whom show up at performances with tissues up their noses!

Mrs Hughes has two beautiful daughters and Scooter the surfer dude, (who’s the drummer in the garage band Fine Young Vegetables). Scooter and his girlfriend, Hiawatha, are engaged to be engaged sometime after the band makes it big. And he finishes his community service. And gets a haircut.

Her older daughter, actress and voice over talent Amy Snively, is married to a software architect, and has one son, Devon. Her younger daughter is a talented hair stylist who has three children; twins Brandon and Justin, and the youngest, Rini.

“That’s right,” she says. “I’m a grandmother. I don’t have any jokes about it ‘cause they live with us and it’s not funny.” Of course when you hear her talk about it you realize it is funny… very funny.

Her act is punctuated with pithy observations on parenting, hot flashes, and husbands, “They’re like brassieres. Sometimes you just want to be rid of them and go free. But you can’t ‘cause you need the support.”

It was just this sort of remark that caught the eye of the Russ Berrie Company who featured Mrs. Hughes’ likeness and wit in her own line of greeting cards. “According to Carol” was in 100,000 stores and gift shops throughout the United States. Now Mrs Hughes is featured in a delightful line of animated ecards! Search for “Mrs Hughes” on http://www.doozycards.com!

About Mrs. Hughes, the legendary Merv Griffin said, “She’s my new favorite funny star” and he featured her in major production shows in his casinos. Since then she has appeared in several additonal casino production shows, has opened for Crystal Gayle, Lou Rawls, Brenda Lee and others, appeared on the Craig Ferguson show and entertained at Jerry Lewis’ MDA telethon.

So if any one happens to ask, “What’s a nice lady like Mrs. Hughes doing in a Comedy Club?” The answer is, “Cracking people up!”

Krista Shows returns to Isis with Drunken Prayer for an early evening of strong music, subtle wit and string wizardry.

Singer songwriter Krista Shows is tied up in a place. Her sound – a combination of folk, R&B, and country with a raw, emotionally-gripping note that comes straight from the gut – is born of her life growing up in Mississippi, a place abounding in twofold realities.

Drunken Prayer celebrates a new album, Cordelia Elsewhere. An eccentric descendant of outlaw country, these songs bare witness to life on earth in uncertain times.
