Rio Clemente Trio: Love Returns

Lackland Center
715 Grand Ave
Hackettstown NJ, 07840
Sunday, February 12, 2012, 4 – 6pm

Anyone who has listened to Rio Clemente play piano, comes away in awe. This master pianist mixes a strong classical background with a rich knowledge of jazz history, then adds an amazing sense of creativity and interpretation. The result is music that is different from others, and nearly always produces a standing ovation and cries for "more." When reviewers stumble for words to describe his work, it's because words fail to convey the rich depth of character, nimble facility of play and ease with which his music is crafted and performed. The man brings something very special and decidedly unequaled to the piano.

Cost: $15 in Advance - $20 at the Door

In Belle Époque Paris, the recently married Dr. Hercule Molineaux tells "one, tiny, little, hardly noticeable lie" to cover an innocent but embarrassing indiscretion. From that single untruth tumbles a cascade of increasingly convoluted deceptions, misunderstandings and mistaken identities and more slamming doors than realistic architecture should ever accommodate, all adding up to a hilariously zany and infectiously charming farce.

Rich Deans is a most fascinating songwriter, writing songs that are more like novellas set to haunting melodies evocative of days past. They are story- and character-driven, and often find their settings in historical fiction. His most widely-known song is "Don't Dig My Grave Too Deep," as recorded by Pat Wictor. Opening tonight are The Folk Goddesses, a band that John Platt of WFUV referred to as "Modern Man on Estrogen." Hillary Foxsong (Gathering Time), Martha Trachtenberg (Buffalo Gals), and Judith Zweiman (Strike the Bell) combine great voices, good songwriting, and a wicked sense of humor in this new combination.
