Enjoy an intimate concert of great folk-jazz sounds when world-class songwriter and instrumentalist Paul Reisler performs at the Hylton Performing Arts Center’s Gregory Family Theater on Saturday, May 16, 2015 at 8 p.m.
Guests will enjoy sitting at café tables as they take in an impressive musical fusion featuring Reisler’s inspiring songs and instrumentals, as well as Lea Morris’ “soul-folk” blend of gospel, jazz, country and R&B music, and Marshall Keys’ versatile saxophone style.
With more than 3,500 concerts and 50 albums to his name, Paul Reisler has dedicated his musical career to sharing his songwriting talents with audiences of all ages. Reisler is the founder and director of the Kid Pan Alley™ Children’s Songwriting Project, a program that works with children in the creative process of songwriting, and has resulted in more than 2,500 songs that have been written with more than 35,000 children across the country. The project has released three CDs featuring collaborations with such world-class guest artists such as Sissy Spacek, Amy Grant and the band Cracker, among others. “The group of artists Mr. Reisler brought together are each extraordinarily talented, and the program was a beautiful melding of their artistry,” said the late Maestro Lorin Maazel and his wife, Dietlinde Maazel, founders of the Castleton Festival in Rappahannock County, Va. In addition to his work with Kid Pan Alley, Reisler was the co-founder and leader of Trapezoid, one of the nation’s most popular and influential acoustic bands, for more than 25 years; The Washington Post called the group “the finest folk group in America.” He currently leads the band Paul Reisler and A Thousand Questions.
