April 3rd at 8:00 PM (snow date April 4) Coming off sold-out performances at First Night in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, last New Year's Eve, a cappella band "Tuckermans at 9" (tuckermansat9.com) returns to the Garrison Players Arts Center, Rollinsford, New Hampshire, on April 3. "We have several new tunes in development," says founder and baritone Mark Miller, "including 'We Will Rock You' by Queen… something a bit different for us. And our own second tenor has arranged the classic Meatloaf tune, 'Paradise by the Dashboard Lights'… all 8+ minutes of it! We hope to premiere both tunes." “We call ourselves a band,” explains Miller, “because our voices make all the music. No instruments or pre-recorded instrumental tracks are ever used. Everything you hear, from the vocals to what sounds a bit like brass or electric guitars, is just us. Even the drums – a technique called vocal percussion – come from our throats and lips. Think 'The Sing Off' on TV recently… and groups such as Rockapella, Ball in the House, or Toxic Audio. If you’ve never heard T9 or contemporary a cappella before, come check us out. You’re going to have a great time!” Based in the New Hampshire Seacoast, the seven-voice vocal band dubbed “T9” by fans has entertained audiences from Boston and Massachusetts’ north and south shores to Lewiston, Maine, and in New Hampshire from Portsmouth to Nashua and into the Lakes Region. A typical T9 show can feature a cappella classics such as “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”, “Zombie Jamboree”, “Java Jive”, and “60-Minute Man”, but also the Temptations' classic Motown anthem "I Can't Get Next to You", Billy Joel's "Longest Time", and Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me." The group's repertoire also includes Joe Jackson's "Is She Really Going Out With Him?", ABBA's "Take a Chance on Me", Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors", “No Matter What” by Badfinger, and “29 Ways (To My Baby’s Door)”, a Willie Dixon tune recorded by Marc Cohn of “Walkin’ in Memphis” fame. Tuckermans at 9 (tuckermansat9.com) performs well-known pop, rock, blues, and light jazz favorites -- a few from as far back as the 1920s – but mostly well known songs from the 1960s to today. Rounding out the band’s roster are soprano Ashley Gove, altos Kam Raiselis and Frances Lipe, tenors Walt Porter and Daryl Robertson, and bass Bill Hersman. “Audiences of all ages enjoy our shows because there’s literally something familiar there for everyone,” explains Miller. “We choose just plain good, well-written material; we also have a lot of fun on stage and it’s contagious for the audience! It’s really a show, not just a concert.” Tuckermans at 9 (tuckermansat9.com) at The Garrison Players Arts Center, Route 4 (corner of Roberts Road), Rollinsford, New Hampshire, April 3, 8pm. (Snow date April 4, 7pm) Adults $15, under 18 $10. Info: garrisonplayers.org/contact.html | ||||
