Upcoming Tierney Sutton Band Performance

The Tierney Sutton Band concert is just around the corner and I would like to share with you some background on this group. I first learned of the group when I read a very favorable review of their first disk released in 1998. I purchased the “Introducing Tierney Sutton” disk and confirmed that indeed this was a group to watch. They have now been together 15 years, with 7 disks behind them and another coming out next spring. Up to a couple weeks ago my wife and I had the pleasure of seeing them perform on 5 occasions. Then we went on our first Jazz cruise a couple of weeks ago. Tierney and the band played 4 times on the cruise. Each show was different and great fun. They have received two Grammy nominations to date and are going stronger than ever. This will not be a dull concert. Tierney introduces each song with a brief and often very funny story. You will leave with a big smile on your face.

Each song that they perform they make their own by coming up with unique arrangements that they arrive at as a group, everyone making a contribution. Each member of the band is an amazing artist.

If you want to preview what we have in store for us, go to http://www.amazon.com/ or your favorite music site and listen to the samples from any of their disks. While you are there take the time to read some of the rave reviews.
