The Listening Room’s jazz series featuring the Robin Connell Trio with guests will continue Saturday, March 7, with singer Mary Rademacher and saxophonist Laurie Sears as guest performers.
The venue is located at Studio Park at 123 Ionia Ave SW. The jazz nights start at 7:30 p.m., with doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets are $12, with open seating, drinks available for purchase, and a parking garage attached.
Pianist and singer Connell’s “house trio” will usually have with Rob Hartman on bass and Keith Hall on the drums. For a video of “Taking a Chance on Love” from last month’s gig, with Hartman on bass and Ethan Bouwsma on drums, visit here.
“If you’re from west Michigan you know Mary,” Connell said in supplied material. “I know she’s looking forward to performing in an intimate setting without all the talk and clatter, where she is able to connect with listeners and perform tunes she doesn’t often get to sing.”
But audiences “might not know the fabulous Laurie Sears. She makes her home in Traverse City but travels all over for performances, often at DeVos concert hall when touring artists perform there and hire top pros to back them up,’ Connell said. “Laurie and I have played together for several years, mostly up north.”
