27 Mar 08 - 01:19 PM (#2298858) Subject: Garnet Rogers in Portland, Maine From: GUEST,One Longfellow Square GARNET ROGERS Sat, 3/29 | $12 adv/$15 door | 8pm One Longfellow Square, State & Congress Streets, Portland, ME www.onelongfellowsquare.com | (207)761-1757 RESCHEDULED FROM DECEMBER 16th! Audience members are encouraged to bring non-perishable foods, and/or items of personal care to the concert as donations to project FEED. Garnet Rogers has established himself as 'One of the major talents of our time". Hailed by the Boston Globe as a "charismatic performer and singer", Garnet is a man with a powerful physical presence - close to six and a half feet tall - with a voice to match. With his "smooth, dark baritone" (Washington Post) his incredible range, and thoughtful, dramatic phrasing, Garnet is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the finest singers anywhere. His music, like the man himself, is literate, passionate, highly sensitive, and deeply purposeful. Cinematic in detail, his songs "give expression to the unspoken vocabulary of the heart" (Kitchener Waterloo Record). An optimist at heart, Garnet sings extraordinary songs about people who are not obvious heroes and of the small victories of the everyday. As memorable as his songs, his over-the-top humour and lightning-quick wit moves his audience from tears to laughter and back again. |
