Tucson, Arizona Published: 01.17.2008

Every year about this time, the Desert Divas with Lisa Otey at the helm get together to re- inforce their divadom.

On Saturday, they will be sans a diva; Anna Warr is sitting this one out to rest her voice for her European tour next month. But Otey will sing alongside her other sisters — Hurricane Carla, Liz McMahon, Diane Van Deurzen and Regina "the Queen."

They will be backed by Rich Nordenberg on bass and Jon Westfall on drums, with special guest diva the campy cabaret singer/pianist Marilyn Harris. Saturday's concert begins at 7 p.m. at the Berger Performing Arts Center, 1200 W. Speedway.

Tickets are $25-$30 in advance, $20 for Tucson Jazz Society members online at www.lisaotey.com or by callinbg 370-5912.
