Flo’s Mellow Mood Band & Show brings mellow jazz to Sycamore Rouge Apr 4
The 5-piece band headed by vocalist Flo King will appear at Sycamore Rouge on Friday, April 4, at 8pm. Flo’s Mellow Mood Band and Show encompasses many types of music including reggae, bossa, swing, blues, and spirituals. Her sound is often likened to Gloria Lynne, Phoebe Snow, Carmen McCrae, and Phyllis Hyman, and she has even been called the “Female Frank Sinatra” with her rendition of “Fly Me to the Moon”. Her repertoire includes such favorites as At Last, The A-Train, Good Morning Heartache, Route 66 and Besame Mucho. With a background in foreign languages, Flo has the unique ability to perform songs in French, Spanish and Portuguese.
Tickets: $15.00
For reservations, call 804- 957-5707.
Band Members are:
Bill Evans - keys; Jason Arce - sax; Brett King - trombone; Scott Chambers - bass: Mike Hoggard - drums
Flo King has agreed to perform at the Halifax Jazz & Blues Festival and will probably open the festival on Sat. May 3rd at 2pm.
For those who want something to do on this Sat. April 4th, there is a lot in store.
Make your dinner reservations for the 5:30 pm “Purple Bridges” dinner at Old Towne Catering featuring Atty. Gen. Bob McDonnell, then stop by Sycamore Rouge to groove wit Flo King, and close out the night with a dance and sneak preview of HJBF ‘08 at Club 17 on Mars St. in this grand city of ours known as Petersburg,VA.
See you at one or all three.
You know, I keep asking this, but does anyone know what’s going on with food at SR? Where did Scott go?
I understand, somewhat vaguely, that Scott has an opportunity to participate in a new upscale venture near the Performing Arts Center in Richmond. Good for him!
