The Silverback’s will be playing to the theme of falling In and out of love with songs ranging from 1930s jazz standards to Broadway and beyond. With vocalist Val Smalkin one never knows who might show up: Katerina Collagenyva, a broken hearted lover from some ambiguously European country; Cyleena the Sloth, an exquisitely cool and slow southern belle; or Magdelyna, a scorching diva.

Richard Schroeder: Piano
John Kessell: Percusion
Kevin Shaner: Bass
Donn Teubner-Rhodes: Clarinet, Saxophone, Flute
Valerie Smalkin: Vocals
Special guest: Paul Azzam
Doors open at 6:30. Music starts around 7:00
