EAT IT UP TRIO • JUNE 23RD Detroit-based and undeniably swinging, the Eat It Up Trio is Michigan’s premier professional purveyor of possibly the most pleasurable music three humans can safely perform within the parameters of the law. Comprised of drummer Sean Perlmutter, bassist Trevor Lamb, and pianist/vocalist Mike Harrison, the Eat It Up trio delivers original songs and arrangements with a versatile repertoire centered in jazz but covering the continuum of American music. For this performance, they will be joined by trumpeter and vocalist Dave Vessella who will add a layer of swing, soul, and sophistication to the proceedings.
MIDNIGHT MUSIC A new Life Enrichment program, “Midnight Music” is an ongoing partnership with All Seasons and Oakland University’s School of Music, Theatre and Dance. For an hour following dinner, when no other activities are booked, advanced piano students will stop by to build their performance experience, practice for competitions, and fill our halls with music. Whether you can stay for an hour or just want to pop in for 10 minutes, we encourage you to say hello. Our first Midnight Music performer is: Ellen Wallenfang, a singer/songwriter based in Detroit, who creates music that draws on pop, indie, soul, and jazz. Currently in pursuit of a music degree at Oakland University, she performs regularly with school ensembles, fellow collaborators, and as a solo artist. Her goal is to bring connection and hope through the power of music.
