“What’s a marimba?” Hint: It’s like a xylophone, but bigger and more fabulous– just like Brian.
See what happens when a classically-trained percussionist with a musical theater sensibility– and killer taste in shoes– puts on a show.
Brian Calhoon’s Marimba Cabaret brings together years of training and a lifetime of passion in an evening of theater tunes, art song, and pop covers performed on marimba, vibraphone, and voice. Truly something for everyone, Brian shares his eclectic taste and love of music ranging from Stephen Sondheim to Radiohead, Bela Bartok to Outkast, Alan Menken to Florence + The Machine, and a little Whitney Houston mash-up for good measure. This cabaret will also feature new works by local composers Beau Kenyon and John Murphree, and a guest appearance by singer-songwriter Ariel Strasser.
Joined by percussionist Greg Jukes, Brian will sing, play, and (at times) stand 7-feet tall.
There will be drinks. There will be music. There will be heels.
