ASTORIA — Merry Time Bar
& Grill will host a musical
comedy performance at 9:30
p.m. Saturday, July 23. Come
early for a good seat, and
watch ³The )amous Haydell
Sisters.´
,n this music and come-
dy show, performers Sadie
Bowman and Donna Kay
Yarborough portray sis-
ters Maybelle and Mattie
Haydell, a pair of country
music singers who shot into
superstardom as young teens
in 1988. )our of their albums
were chart-toppers on the
country music lists of the day.
But their ¿fth album was an
inexplicable artistic and com-
mercial Àop, which sent the
sisters, formerly on top of the
world, into hiding, away from
the public eye since that ¿nal
cringe-worthy release in 1993.
Now, 20 years later, the
sisters are older, wiser, and
ready to once again lift their
voices in harmony on a come-
back tour.
Bowman and Yarborough
have created two Àawed
yet likable characters who
just want to make music.
The songs in their ³concert´
performance are originals
written with an adult theme.
The songs talk about some
of the issues the sisters have
gone through over the past 20
years and are both hilarious
and risque.
Merry Time Bar & Grill is
located at 995 Marine Drive.
The show is for ages 21 and
older only. There is no cover.
