About this Event

Vintage Glamour, Jazz Cabaret, Storytelling

Slip into the sparkling world of Mistress Ginger. The Twin Cities’ beloved cabaret queen invites you on a joyful evening celebrating the timeless songs of George and Ira Gershwin. With Franco Holder at the piano, Ginger weaves swoony ballads and swinging favorites like “Someone to Watch Over Me,” “’S Wonderful,” and “Fascinating Rhythm” into an evening of vintage glamour, playful wit, and heartfelt storytelling. Blending music with tales of memory, imagination, and a long-forgotten family legacy, she creates a rich and intimate cabaret experience. Whether a devoted Gershwin fan or simply in search of a glamorous night out, you’ll be swept away by an evening of music, laughter, and showgirl sparkle.

Franco Holder: Piano

Mistress Ginger (she/her) is a Twin Cities–based cabaret artist known for her dynamic performances that blend song, dance, and theatrical storytelling. A devoted interpreter of the Great American Songbook, she has created and performed tribute shows celebrating artists and composers such as Kurt Weill, Rodgers & Hart, Cole Porter, and Liza Minnelli. Ginger has brought her signature sparkle to stages across the Twin Cities, from the Bryant-Lake Bowl Theater to Crooners Supper Club.


“Mistress Ginger is a cabaret singer who brings warmth and depth to a lyric, and always lets the song shine through. She moves easily from the steam of a torch song to the campy wink of a double entendre – always while holding up the classic composers and lyricists she loves.” –Michael Whistler of Interact Center for the Arts, for MPR News Art Hounds, 2021
