Act III Restaurant Hosts International Music Stars

Looking for some great weekend fun! Look no further! Act III Restaurant has it all!

Starting Thursday evening from 6 – 8pm, pianist Ted Knowlton plays during dinner. There are few things as relaxing as listening to piano music, with a good friend, sharing a delicious meal, enjoying a glass or two of wine.

Later in the evening, from 8:30 until 10:30, the Hiro Honshuku and Racha Fora takes over. Billed as “International Jazz” the melodies are smooth and sweet, and make for some of the best jazz listening. Enjoy it with a friend over one of Act III’s sweet desserts, or antipasto plates. There is no cover charge, but donations to support the musicians are very welcome.

On Friday, Littleton favorite Molly Flannery plays piano during dinner. There is no cover charge, and this is a great way to end the week. Bring your date and start the weekend off on the right foot! From 9 – 11 pm, The Charles River Reprobates play. Featuring the fun and brilliant Eddie Scheer, also of the Love Dogs, you are sure to hear great music, and have a really good time! Check the Act III website for tickets and reservations.

Saturday, Ric Maure starts the evening from 6 – 8 pm. Ric’s laid back piano playing is perfect dinner music. Easy to have a conversation while still hearing great live music. Ric is followed by Ameranouche: Gypsy Flamenco Swing Trio. From their website, “The award winning Ameranouche (pronounced uh-Mare-uh-noosh) plays a passionate style of music they call “Gypsy Flamenco Swing.” … The rip-roaring ensemble is a super force of hot acoustic Gypsy inspired music mixing Flamenco, Bebop and Jazz swing influences. Played on traditional French jazz guitars, the music is rhythmic, vigorous, and elegant. Whether they’re playing a musette waltz from 1930 or an Andalusian inspired original tune, Ameranouche’s Gypsy Flamenco Swing style is a fresh and highly enjoyable new sound for the 21st century.” Call Gwenn at 978-486-3600 for reservations, or check on-line.

Sunday is the best way to end the week. The Jazz Jam takes place from 4 – 7 –longer if folks want to stay and play. Bring your instrument and join other musicians and share in the fun and energy. Hosted by Molly Flannery, and friends.
