Toe Tapping Music at Act III Friday and Saturday Night

Look no further than your backyard for some great jazz standards and jumpin’ jive for live music this weekend! Act III of Littleton features two great music acts this weekend. Friday night features the James Merenda Trio. They start playing at 9 pm, following Littleton pianist Molly Flanders, who will play during dinner.

From the James Merenda Trio’s website:

“This classic piano trio setting offers elegance and versatility while creating a mood which is both classy and fun. Playing well known Jazz standards and lesser known gems from the musical canon, James creates an atmosphere of sophistication which brings the crowd back to the days when Jazz was the most popular music of it’s time.”

Saturday night features the Rico Barr Trio with Wendy Nottonson. Recently, the group has been doing a tribute to Johnny Mercer, who was well known for writing lyrics, more than 1,500 in total, and winning 4 academy awards. Here is a rendition of “that old black magic” performed by the Rico Barr Band with Wendy Nottonson. The group starts playing at 9 pm. Come early for dinner, and enjoy the piano playing of Ric Maure, free with dinner, Act III’s gift to you for your continued support.

Reservations are highly recommended. Call 978-486-3600 Look no further for the perfect date night venue!
