The evening’s program includes the swingin’ “All the Cats Join In,” originally recorded by Benny Goodman and Irving Berlin’s well-known sunny standard “Blue Skies,” arranged by Paris Rutherford. “Blue Skies” has been recorded by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Ella Fitzgerald. The Mad River Transit Singers will also perform a blues tune made famous by the Count Basie Orchestra and B.B. King called “Every Day I Have the Blues,” arranged by Kirby Shaw. The program keeps it interesting with a performance of Willie Nelson’s famous ballad, “Crazy.” The country standard receives unique treatment in a touching a cappella arrangement by Los Angeles’s well-known jazz singer and pianist, Michele Weir. A special moment of the evening is a performance of Kerry Marsh’s arrangement of “Brave” by Grammy winner and Eureka native Sara Bareilles. The concert will close with Kirby Shaw’s arrangement of the lightning-speed bebop tune “Everybody’s Boppin”. This is sure to be a fun concert you won’t want to miss!
