Escape from everyday sounds at Ukulele Noir
In this newest edition of the popular Ukulele Noir show, Craig Robertson will unveil his newest CD; "Houdini's Perspective". Helping him in this launch will be five other international ukulele acts: The Moonlighters from New York, Victoria Vox from Baltimore, Mark Occhionero from Boston, Uke Box from Holland and, starting off the show will be Boston escapologist, Jason Escape.
Ukulele impresario and singer/songwriter Craig Robertson began organizing Ukulele Noir events in 2004. He invites a variety of talented local musicians to present their work in a cabaret-style setting. Some of the players perform original music. Others draw repertoire from the Roaring Twenties, tin Pan Alley, Doo-Wop or the 1960s. In addition to providing a showcase for other performers, Robertson presents a mix of vintage and original tunes; his own songs explore stories of hypnotism, murder and dancing bears.
The mood on April 5th will range from light-hearted to heart-broken; together, the Ukulele Noir performers take as their goal and their motto: small instruments, big trouble!
