Kodachrome and Pipeline.
Alice loves blues, classic rock and R&B tunes like Chuck E’s In Love, Green River and Chain of Fools.
We both love silliness and making you smile so occasionally…someone will break into a kazoo solo.

Dive Bar Diva

Dive Bar Diva is five friends who like making Blues, R&B and Funk inflected music that surprises and makes people want to dance.

On guitar is Edwin Jeffries. Edwin has been a fixture in the Denver club scene for 30-plus years. He’s shared the stage with luminaries such as Tab Benoit and just loves that old-school Chicago Blues.
On bass is Warren Rubin, who by his own admission, just likes being seen with good musicians.
Drums and Vocals are anchored by Trent and Julie Mannina, respectively. Trent and Julie met in local rock band Clusterfunk. Since then, they’ve performed in a number of local bands with Trent anchoring the back line and Julie always engaging the audience with her wit and powerful and soulful vocals.

As an adult, she has performed with choirs, groups, and solo around the Denver area for over 50 years. She delights in many styles of music, including folk, jazz, blues, show tunes, classical, and even opera.
Audience members and fellow musicians describe her performances as “…inspirational”…”heartfelt, and beautiful as well”…”warm and inviting”…”a great singer (with an) amazing voice!”
“..a talented musician…I also appreciate the professionalism and attention to detail she applies in preparation for her performances.”
“From Schubert to American Songbook to adaptations of traditional music that span centuries and continents, Beth’s musical choices share a common thread—a keen ear for the poignant and a love of music…Beth’s strong alto voice and thoughtful accompaniments…always serve the song, and they grow better with each performance.”
Beth is looking forward to sharing song styles, old and new, with the La Dolce Vita community, family and friends. Please come out and enjoy the fun!
