Joining Geri for this show will be Art Lawless on Piano, Tom Dennison on Bass, Marilee Townsend on drums, and special guest vocalist Laurie Nelson.

 

Geri says, "I always look forward to working with this group of talented people. We go back a long way and have enjoyed many magical musical moments over the years. It’s always a fun time for us and the audience is always a part of it."

 

"Nat King Cole had a huge repertoire of songs he made famous. From his career in recordings, regular radio and tv shows, NKC left us with a cornucopia of wonderful songs to choose from. It was hard to limit ourselves, so we hope we won't disappoint with our selections."

 

More Than Magic

magic0002More Than Magic, Geri Childs' current CD, contains some of her favourite songs from the movies and the folk and pop world and is a personal reflection on the songs that have influenced Geri not only as a singer, but as the person she is today.

 

The music was arranged in a quiet jazz style by Ottawa composer/arranger Mark Ferguson. The musicians accompanying Geri on More Than Magic include Mark Ferguson on piano and trombone, John Geggie on bass, Margaret Tobolowska on cello and Rob Graves on percussion.

Music That Makes Me Dance

In my musical career I have accumulated a very large repertoire of songs. Some that I haven’t done for many years and some I have been meaning to do, but for some reason have never got around to performing. For my next concert on April 23rd, dug out of a dusty old file folder will be a mix of memorable and melodic tunes. You can expect to hear the music of Ellington, Gershwin, Monk, Ivan Lins, … [Read More...]

Up and Coming Performances for Spring 2016

What a great way to enter the holiday season and … [Read More...]
