4A – Daily News – Thursday, April 22, 2010 Pastimes Diva Nation comes to the Cascade REDDING — The Four Bitchin’ Babes will be bringing their show titled “Diva Nation… Where Music, Laughter and Girl- friends Reign” to the stage at the Cascade Theatre. The show is scheduled at 4 p.m. Saturday, May 1. The “Babes” are a collective of four female folk singer-song- writers who have been touring in one form or another for more than 15 years, recorded eight albums together and recently delighted audiences with this show. With their whimsical, hip and sophisticated girl-group har- monies, these hysterically funny and multi-talented musicians let loose on how the new millennium has, in some cases literally, changed the face of The Diva. Let your sense of humor be your ticket to a magical place where chocolate is a vegetable, wine is in the food pyramid, shopping for shoes is medicinal and a girl can safely admit that she wears 100 percent cotton underneath it all. All songs are sung with pride, attitude and terrific accessories. For more information about the group, visit http://www.four- bitchinbabes.com/dn.html.
