Double Shot of A Cappella at Garrison Players Art Center

Get set for a full night of a cappella at 8 pm on Saturday, April 28, at the Garrison Players Arts Center, Route 4 in Rollinsford, NH, as Seacoast-based Tuckermans at 9 welcomes special guest Talk To The Hand from Reading, Massachusetts.

“There is so much a cappella talent out there"! says Tuckermans at 9 baritone, founder, and Dover resident, Mark Miller. "We perform year-round in New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts, and we love to share the stage. Our 'help wanted' notice for a group to open our next show generated an overwhelming response. And we’re very excited to have Talk To The Hand join us here in New Hampshire.”

Talk To The Hand is a four-woman a cappella group that rocks out venues in and around Boston. Together, Emily, Liz, Sarah, and Laura offer music from a mind-boggling variety of pop, rock, and country artists. Both groups have been longtime audience favorites for years. "The voices make all the music," explains Miller. "Neither group uses instruments or pre-recorded instrumental tracks, ever. Everything you hear, including what sounds like brass, electric guitars, or drums, is totally vocal. And we hope to bring the two groups together at the end of the show for a joint finale."

Seven-voice Tuckermans at 9, aka T9, performs a cappella versions of well-known pop, rock, blues, and light jazz favorites, mostly from the 1960s to today. Recent additions to the group’s repertoire are “Desperado” by The Eagles, Christina Perri’s “Jar of Hearts”, and “Beat It” by Michael Jackson. Soprano Ashley Gove, altos Kam Damtoft and Frances Lipe, tenors Walt Porter and Daryl Robertson, and bass Bill Hersman round out the group’s roster. T9 sound tech Tony Berke will mix both groups.

"Two great groups for one price," says Miller. "This really is a show for all ages and a wide range of musical tastes. There's something for everyone." Tickets, at $18 for adults and $12 for students, are available online at www.garrisonplayers.org, by calling 603-750-4ART, or at the door.
