A terrific voice. Charisma to spare. A delightful raconteur. Unassuming nice guy. All true of Russ Lorenson, whose burnished tenor and magnetic stage presence have dazzled audiences from San Francisco to Paris. Over a career spanning more than two decades, the three-time MAC Award-nominated vocalist and songwriter has traced an artistic path from musical theatre to cabaret and ultimately to jazz, all rooted in the enduring tradition of the Great American Songbook. He is known for breathing new life into timeless classics, delivering every note with elegance, swing, and soul, whether commanding the spotlight in grand concert halls or captivating listeners in intimate settings. A former San Franciscan, he now makes his home in Alicante, Spain.

Multi-MAC and Bistro Award winner Terese Genecco is a New York-based vocalist and cabaret artist, and a longtime collaborator and friend of Russ. Terese & her 8-piece "Little Big Band" hold the title of the "longest-running nightclub act on Broadway," having appeared as the headliner at The Iridium Jazz Club on Broadway for over 100 performances between March 2009 and May 2014. Terese and Russ have performed together many times across the US, and Terese was a guest vocalist on Russ' first holiday album, What I Want For Christmas, celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

Both Terese and Russ have deep roots on the Feinstein's stage. Terese was among the first performers in the room and later hosted a monthly late-night Saturday series here. Russ followed her in that role, and between them they hosted the series for nearly two years and went on to perform numerous engagements at Feinstein's over the following years. Russ' annual Christmas show became a holiday tradition for many over a 10-year run.  Although San Francisco was where their careers began, both have gone on to enjoy successful runs in New York and beyond, earning a combined twelve MAC Award nominations along the way.
