OMAHA, NE, January 18, 2013 (Press-News.org) Mary Carrick has been making her mark on the cabaret scene across the Midwest with her rich, soaring vocals and gift for storytelling. She and pianist/vocalist Todd Brooks bring "Love Notes: A Cabaret" to Valentine, Nebraska on Sunday, January 27, 2013. The 7 p.m. performance will be held in the auditorium of Valentine High School and is presented by the Valentine Area Arts Council.
The dynamic pair promises an intimate and delightful evening of song that blends classics from the Great American Songbook, lesser known gems, and their trademark touch of whimsy and humor. Their set list includes music by Jerome Kern, Frank Loesser, Stephen Sondheim, Hank Williams, Jason Robert Brown, Hoagy Carmichael, Amanda McBroom, Marvin Hamlisch, Cole Porter, and more.
"To me, there's nothing more romantic than a great love song and, as a performer, there's not a more perfect way to spend an evening than sharing great music with wonderful people," says Carrick. "Our show is full of nostalgic classics and also light hearted, toe-tapping tunes about romance but also other aspects of love in our lives. We'll laugh a little, too. Todd and I are looking forward to a memorable evening in Valentine."
Valentine High School is located at 431 North Green Street in Valentine, Nebraska. Tickets are $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for students. Tickets may be purchased at Fashions clothing store or at the door. Support for the performance is provided by the Nebraska Arts Council.
