Another full house for the terrific show given by The Maria Gillard Trio this past Sunday afternoon! Maria, mixing her new well-crafted songs with her classics ,and displaying, as always, her unpretentious, sincere nature, captivated a highly appreciative audience for two hours. “no One Will Ever Know,” a song she wrote for the songwriting contest developed by Sarah Long Hendershot, “What If All of Rochester Wrote the Same Song,” was one of the new songs added to her catalog. Another great new addition to her show came when she had Perry Cleaveland fill in for Scott Regan on “Blue Ridge Moon,”a song from A LITTLE LUCK, analbum of duets she recorded with Scott. Her band members, Perry Cleaveland (mandolins, fiddle, and vocals) and Doug Henrie, (standup bass) deftly enhanced Maria’s performance with improvisational leads that were often interrupted with an enthusiastic response, especially on “Red Dirt,” a song from LITTLE ROSE. As only it could have, this beautiful afternoon once again came to a conclusion with a rousing standing ovation! I’ll leave you with one of my favorites she played this past Sunday, "I'm a Country Gal with the City Blues."
Big thanks to Maria, Perry, and Doug for such a super show! Big thanks to Raf, Erin, Teresa, Trevor, Noah, Hanna, and the rest of the staff at Rio for their help in setting up and running this event! Big thanks to Scott Regan of WRUR’s “Open Tunings” for always taking the time to promote our shows! Finally, big thanks to you, the audience, for being there and supporting this event! Without you, it just wouldn’t work! One of our area’s favorite sons, John Dady, will be in Quiote on March 1. Hope you can come back and make it another great afternoon!
