Description

2 Stones Events' unique evening of live jazz standards with Jill Jack & The American Songbook Band at Ciao Amici in downtown Brighton. Intimate show with a speakeasy vibe in the lower level of Ciao Amici's. Doors will open at 5:30 pm, show will be 6-7:30 (with a short break). We will need to clear the room by 7:50 pm (you can head upstairs for dinner or a drink if you like). Tickets are priced at $25 and available now. Five years ago, we came up with a new live music series – Kittens & Crooners – to celebrate the music and style of our country’s classic jazz singers like Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Lena Horne, Tony Bennett, and Rosemary Clooney. The four shows we held in 2016 at the Tipping Point Theater in Northville went over so well that we continued presenting live jazz at that venue until the pandemic put a halt to indoor concerts. (Don't worry, we'll be doing more shows at the Tipping Point.) Well, now it’s time to revive Kittens & Crooners, and we’ve found another intimate venue that’s perfect for this type of performance: the lower level of Ciao Amici's restaurant in downtown Brighton. Seating will be limited to just 100, and there will be a cash bar to enjoy a beverage during the two-set concert. Five years ago, Jill Jack & The American Songbook Band performed an amazing concert for that first Kittens & Crooners series, so what better way to kick off this new season than to bring her and her fabulous musicians to Brighton on Saturday, March 5; doors will open at 5:30 p.m. for the first set at 6 p.m.. Tickets are priced at $25 and available now. Many recognize Jill for her remarkable career in the Americana genre in which she has garnered more than 40 Detroit Music Awards. But in 2014, she and drummer Ron Pangborn decided to put together an ensemble to focus solely on the songs they grew up listening to on their parents’ stereos – the canon of important and influential popular songs and jazz standards of the 20th century collectively known as The Great American Songbook. Jill then released Pure Imagination, a nine-song CD that her band uses as a platform to stretch out with their own gorgeous renditions in live performances: “Moon River” “The Look Of Love” “Walk On By” “Cry Me A River” These links give you a taste of what you’ll experience on March 5, 2022 at Ciao Amici's. Tickets are limited to 100 seats – don’t wait to get yours! 2 STONES EVENTS At 2 Stones Events, we are passionate about music and how it relates to economic development in communities -- the importance of building and branding a live music series, festivals and other music-related events, as well as the impact it has on the well-being of a community, its residents and business owners.
