Avon Library Presents its "Sundays at Three" Finale March 25

The Cartells have been delighting audiences for more than three decades with a musical mix that ranges from rhythm and blues, Motown and swing, to 60s pop to funk and mainstream rock. They’ve appeared from coast to coast and now they’re slated to perform March 25 in the season’s finale of the popular Sundays at Three music series presented by the Friends of the Avon Library.

The legendary band includes Avon resident, and multi-instrumentalist, Bill Holloman. He will be joined by Joe Grieco on keyboards and bass, guitarist Tom “BB” Majesky, and drummer Karin Barth. In addition to being gifted instrumentalists, the group is noted for its trademark four-part vocal harmony. What a great way to celebrate the coming of spring!

Bill Holloman is one incredible musician. Period. Not only does he play every brass and wind instrument ever invented, playing them better than most people, he is more than proficient on bass and keyboards. He also sings, composes, produces, and arranges music for film and television. Just some of those he has recorded and/or performed with are Bruce Springsteen, Blood, Sweat and Tears, the B52s, Elton John, Paul Simon, Diana Ross, Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers, and Patti Labelle.

Joe Grieco has been performing live, solo, and with both local and national acts for over 35 years. He performs more than 250 show per year, from solo piano at private parties to performing on stage at the Mohegan Sun Casino and the Katherine Hepburn Cultural Center (the Kate) in Old Saybrook. He has also developed musical scores and provided vocals for television documentaries and countless radio and television commercials.

Tom “BB” Majesky, guitarist/vocalist, can be heard on the "Blind to Reason" album by RCA recording artist Grayson Hugh, with whom Tom toured for two years. He's appeared on NBC's "Today" show, as well as, concert stages nationwide. Tom's original material has twice earned him recognition in Billboard Magazine's songwriting competition. Tom is an instructor of guitar studies at the Hartford Conservatory of Music.

Like the other members of The Cartells, Karin Barth plays dual roles, vocalist and percussionist. Make that three roles; she also serves as business manager. One of the three founding members, she played with numerous bands in New York before moving to Connecticut, and for four years was a featured vocalist with the renowned “Eight to the Bar.” She recorded two albums and the video “Swingin’ School” (featured on VH-1) and can also be heard in numerous local and national commercials.

Don’t miss this special program in the Community Room of the Avon Free Public Library, 281 Country Club Road, Avon. Free tickets will be available at 2:15 on the day of the performance with seating starting at 2:30. The one-hour program begins at 3:00.
