OMAHA, Neb. - June 9, 2015 - PRLog -- The Jewish Community Center Theater will be bursting with music when popular Omaha, Nebraska vocalist and cabaret singer Mary Carrick performs with her combo, The Mary Carrick Collective on Sunday, June 14, 2015.  The 7 p.m. summer concert is free and open to the public.

Carrick, a familiar presence across Omaha's arts landscape who released her debut album, "Let's Fly" in 2014, is joined by a dynamite trio comprised of the area's finest musicians, J. Gawf, piano; Mark Haar, upright bass; and JB Ferguson, percussion.

Together, the ensemble fuses great American standards, jazz, blues, country, and musical theater.  Their show will feature music by such celebrated songwriters as Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Dolly Parton, Andre Previn, Barry Manilow, Kander & Ebb, and more, including Omaha-based composer Karen Sokolof Javitch.  With inspired arrangements, they take music in innovative directions with an inviting and embraceable style.

Carrick says the show will appeal to a variety of musical tastes, which reflects her affinity for a broad range of styles.  “Our set ebbs and flows between timeless classics and classic contemporary.  It takes some unexpected twists and turns and there’s some fun, too.  The band and I are looking forward to an exciting evening of great songs by some of the most iconic songwriters of our time.”

A dynamic performer, Carrick is known for her shimmering, velvety and powerhouse sounds matched by evocative song interpretations rooted in honest storytelling.  She tours the Midwest and performs in cabaret and concert settings including theaters, restored opera houses, outdoor spaces, and cabaret venues, including Chicago's well-known club, Davenport's.

Locally, she has performed roles with Opera Omaha, the Omaha Symphony, Rose Theater, Omaha Community Playhouse and as a soloist at the Holland Performing Arts Center.  She's the recipient of an Omaha Entertainment & Arts Award (OEA) for her role in Seussical: The Musical at The Rose and received critical acclaim for her performance at The Rose as Mother Abbess in The Sound of Music.  Most recently she was seen as Giovanna in Opera Omaha's production of Rigoletto.  Carrick is a Touring Artist with the Nebraska Arts Council.

An accomplished pianist, conductor, and vocal coach, Gawf is the resident music director of Opera Omaha.  He co-produced and served as lead arranger for Carrick's album.  Haar and Ferguson perform extensively across Omaha and the region, with numerous bands and ensembles, with arts organizations such as the Omaha Symphony and Omaha Performing Arts, as well as tour.

“The Javitch Music Fund is excited to present a free show for the community starring Omaha's premier vocalist,” says Susan Rothholz, Chair of the Javitch Music Fund. “Her glorious renditions of American songbook standards plus works from wonderful classic and contemporary composers will have our audience cheering. Put this terrific evening on your calendar.”
