Delavan Art Gallery invited the public to dispel the bad-luck myth of Friday the 13th by joining us for a program of Songbook hits by Jazz vocalist Marcia Rutledge, accompanied by the intimate guitar sounds of Doug Robinson.
Based in Syracuse NY, Marcia Rutledge is a recording artist who has performed throughout Central New York for some 15 years with swing, accappella and jazz ensembles in a wide range of venues. Nominated three times for Syracuse Area Music Awards (SAMMY), she includes in her repertoire a select list of jazz and pop standards, blues, and R&B tunes, along with original songs she has composed with longtime musical associate, David Solazzo. Her interpretation of the Great American Songbook is enhanced by song selections from the 70's pop era.
When asked about her career in music thus far, Ms Rutledge replied, "I sing what I like. It usually strikes a sympathetic chord in my listening audience, since beautiful, sincerely interpreted songs are what we are all about. Music is constantly available to all of us now, electronically, but live music will always have a special place."
For accompaniment at her Delavan Art Gallery gig, Rutledge chose the intimate sounds of guitarist Doug Robinson, a musician, vocalist and producer whose extensive talents include touring and recordings with British guitar legend Martin Simpson, a multi-year stint as a staff musician at the famous "Festival D'Ete World Music Festival in Quebec City, Canada, European tours and Carnegie Hall appearances with Jazz trumpeter Johnny Russo and his East Hill Classic Jazz Group.
