About Maripat Davis and Richard Osborn
Maripat Davis and Richard Osborn burst onto the cabaret scene with sold-out engagements at The Gardenia in Hollywood and Sterling’s Upstairs at Vitello’s in Studio City, California. Their first show, entitled Let’s Fall In Love, featured a potpourri of classic American love songs from the '30s, ’40s, and beyond, taking a fun and sentimental look at the many moods of love, from first blush to a lifetime love affair. Their second show, Moonlight and Love Songs, took them on a romantic journey through many of the memorable songs from the silver screen, past and present. In addition to numerous appearances at The Gardenia, they have also performed at Vitello’s, Sterling's Upstairs at the Federal, the Ten 20 Club, The Vermont in Los Angeles; the Central California Cabaret Series (CCCS), with Broadway star Luba Mason; Billy Reed’s, Azul’s, the Annenberg Theater in Palm Springs; and the Laurie Beechman Theater in New York City.

The common thread uniting all of their shows, is a celebration of life, love and romance.Recording Musicians Piano: Shelly Markham; Bass: Kevin Axt; Drums/Percussion: Jon Stuart ; Guitar/Banjo: Matt Hornbeck; Sax/Flute/Clarinet: Phil Feather; Acoustic Guitar/Dobro: Linda Taylor; Backup Vocals: Eddie Hedges & Ronee Martin.
