Our first time having a one-man band singer/songwriter in Quiote, and oh what a show it was! Jackson Cavalier mesmerized his audience for two great sets of music this past Sunday. His unbelievable ability to sing and perfectly synchronize the playing of his guitar, harmonica, drum, and Tambourine was simply outstanding. It beautifully enhanced the delivery of his well-constructed original material, which covered a variety of topics and Rhythms. His voice, strong and sincere, was his own, but it most closely reflected that of Bob Dylan. What impressed me the most about this young singer/songwriter was his stage presence. Totally relaxed, he engaged with the audience with a refreshing honesty and superb sense of humor. He made his audience so comfortable that at one point in the show a member of the crowd called out and asked him how he was able to play all his instruments at once. Rather than just shrugging off the Question, Jackson responded with a quick demonstration on how he brings all the instruments together, totally appreciated by all those in attendance. Really looking forward to following this singer/songwriter as he continues to develop his craft!
Big thanks to Jackson for a terrific show! Big thanks to Raf, Erin, Trevor, Julie, and the rest of the staff at Rio for all the help you give us to make this event work! Big thanks to Scott Regan for promoting these shows on WRUR’s “Open Tunings!” Big thanks to you, the audience, for your continuous support of this venue! Without you, it would not be possible! Our next show in Quiote is on Jan. 26. Jon Itkin and Ben Proctor, Two of the area’s fine singer/songwriters and players, will be our guests. There will be music for the brunch at Rio from Noon until Jon and Ben take the stage at 3 PM. Stay tuned for more details about this show and “Sunday Music at Rio!”
