Syracuse, N.Y. --- December 12, 2006 --- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Syracuse jazz singer and songwriter Maria De Angelis will perform an evening of songs by 60’s legend Joni Mitchell. One night only, Saturday, January 13, 2007, De Angelis will sing and play guitar for two different sets of Joni Mitchell’s songs, at 7:00 and 9:00 p.m., at Jazz Central in downtown Syracuse.
“Joni is my earliest influence as a singer and songwriter,” says
De Angelis. “I spent most of my musical time from age 11 through 21 singing her songs in coffehouses with my sister. Now, I’m relearning these songs more accurately, and I’ve had lots of help from friends.” Among those who will be appearing with De Angelis on January 13th are singers Karen Oberlin and Hanna Richardson, and the music critic David Yaffe, a professor of English at S.U., who is currently writing a book on Joni Mitchell. “There will be several other surprise guests as well,” says De Angelis.
Advance sale tickets may be purchased directly from Maria at 315-446-3918. Admission will be $10 at the door, $8 in advance. Jazz Central, the cozy, 70-seat home of the Central New York Jazz Arts Foundation, is located at 441 East Washington Street in Syracuse, near the corner of Townsend Street.
