Lori Diamond & Fred Abatelli with Patty Barkas
11-7-2015 (Ballroom)
The elusive luminary Patty Barkas has recorded and toured nationally and internationally with the region's most notable players; from the eccentric, alt-rock madness of "The Bentmen" to the acoustic venues with Greg Greenway and Laurie Geltman; and everything in between - Rubyhorse, Peter Wolf (of J. Geils Band), RTZ (Brad Delp of Boston), November Group, Laurie Sargent and Face To Face. Her voice is an instrument of passion, mysticism, and daunting beauty; in one moment softly ethereal, and in the next, charged with soaring intensity. Until this solo effort, you have yet to experience Patty in her truest form. This new project is her passionate response as she emerges from "featured back up diva" to become the image weaver of her own vision.
Lori Diamond & Fred Abatelli: Lori is an award winning songwriter (finalist, Great American Songwriting Contest 2010, Best Female Vocalist, Pulse Magazine 2011, 2012), combining alluring, soulful vocals and seasoned piano playing with Fred Abitalli's solid solid bass and guitar. Lori & Fred's newest CD, "Lifted" was just named "Best CD of 2015" by Pulse Magazine. Fans of Norah Jones, Sarah McLachlan and Joni Mitchell will quickly become fans of Lori & Fred as they explore Jazz, Acoustic, Folk, Pop, Gospel and blues with their own fresh style.
An unforgettable evening of soulful, soaring vocals and songs that will uplift, soothe and stir your spirit!
