Small Potatoes was truly "Back By Popular Demand" when they performed here in April 2005. When we did a survey a couple of years ago, Small Potatoes was named among the most requested acts by our mailing list. That's not really surprising considering the great House Concert they did here back in September 2001. We were thrilled to be able to bring them back!

SMALL POTATOES is Jacquie Manning and Rich Prezioso. This Chicago-based duo has been touring on the circuit since 1993 and in that time they've become sought-after regulars at many clubs and coffeehouses across the U.S. They call themselves eclecto-maniacs and say it has taken them "years of careful indecision" to come up with a mix of music that ranges from country, blues, and swing to folk and Irish, with songwriting that touches on all of those styles and more.

When you see Small Potatoes perform, you hear two great voices, some fine guitar playing, and a touch of tin whistle, flute, mandolin, bodhran, other percussion toys, and a truly heart-warming performance. Dirty Linen Magazine called them "one of the most polished, inventive and entertaining shows on the circuit." Sing Out Magazine called their Time Flies CD a "wonderful, wonderfully eclectic" album and said "Small Potatoes might well be leading mainstays on the folk circuit for years to come."

We certainly couldn't have had a more fun evening. Thanks to Jacquie and Rich (and to Tim Tedrow & Terry Vreeland who opened the evening), for a wonderful evening. Special thanks to our sponsor for the evening: Mark Kaplan of RE/MAX on the Boulevard. You can reach Mark at 818-889-7734 or www.MarkKaplan.com. We greatly appreciate Mark's support of our House Concert series; please be sure to drop by his website or give him a call.
