AMERICAN JAZZ DUO MAY 11 - FREE TICKETS

Singer Ericka Ovette and guitarist Paul Pieper, an American Jazz duo, will be performing on Sunday, May 11 at 8 p.m. at the Hamra Theater in Damascus.  Tickets are free and available from the Hamra Theater. 

Ericka and Paul have performed together all over the world, including Santiago, Chile and Prague in the Czech Republic.  Their repertory includes songs from the great American female jazz singers including Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday.

From the Washington Post
Washington Post review by Mike Joyce
"...The evening was a textbook sample of what music should be about. Ovette is a marvelous vocalist. This reviewer, a record collector for many years, can close his eyes and hear a very young Sarah Vaughan, from the Musicraft Records days. She is a joy to watch because she sincerely enjoys her work. Expect great things from her in the future."
