Jazz vocalist Felicia Carter and bassist Amy Shook are bringing their bluesy jazz, a mix of original songs and standards, to the Garfield Center for the Arts at the Prince Theatre at 8 pm on November 12th.
Felicia Carter and Amy Shook
With Joe Holt on the piano and Shook doing great things on the bass, the evening promises to swing from soulful and warm to witty and wise. Carter knows how to deliver the sound of an intimate nightclub, but with Shook and Holt hitting their stride, it’s suddenly all about New Orleans.
Carter and Shook first joined forces for a PBS documentary and the collaboration took root. The next thing they knew, the duo had formed ShookShak Productions and released “Nothing to Do,” full of original works.
Mike Joyce, in The Washington Post, says Carter “can cast a spell with her lyrics alone” and wrote that she “leaves you wanting more.” The City Paper’s Bret McCabe praised the music and musicianship of “Nothing to Do” as “bluesy, countrified jazz…fronted by a woman whose power is subtlety.”
Tickets for the Carter-Shook-Holt performance are $15 and $5 for students with ID. They can be reserved on-line until one day prior to the performance at www.garfieldcenter.com or purchased at the theater box office at 210 High Street in Chestertown, or by phone: 410-810-2060.
