Two For a Song: You've Got That Thing! April 4, 2021 at 7:30pm (EDT)

Do you love the music of the 20s and 30s? Then you MUST check out this amazing duo. Doug's voice is glorious, and perfect for this style of music. And I think Alex has 4 hands, he gets so much sound out of the piano with his pianoodling! Truly virtuosic, both of them.

Bowles and Hassan of TWO FOR A SONG are back at the Emerson Avenue Covid-Safe Salon (both fully vaccinated) with their latest offering: YOU’VE GOT THAT THING.

What do they have? Just a collection of some of the most tuneful, sentimental, grand, delightful, witty, wonderful, syncopated and romantic tunes of the 1920s and 30s!!

The pair have chosen a stunning collection of some of the greatest and well-known songs by towering giants in the field. Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, Irving Berlin, Johnny Mercer, Rodgers and Hart lead the pack in this tour-de-force of richly harmonic and delightfully articulate songs with melodies for the ages. The boys may “blow in like a boisterous breeze” but you’ll feel like “you’ve got the world on a string” after an evening with these two masters of the golden age style of vocalism and pianoodling.

Come join us for an unforgettable evening. Remember “there will never be another you” - an audience we adore. Heck, even after the “song has ended, the melody [will linger] on."

REVELS FESTIVAL DAY at Rachel Carson Meadow

Sunday, May 16, 2010

Picnic and perform with Washington Revels in the midst of this celebration of the benefits of a neighborhood park.

We gather, rehearse, and perform a “mini-Revels” all in one day – no auditions or experience necessary! Come by yourself, with a friend, or bring the whole family – all ages welcome.

Register by MAY 10 to select your performance or production activity.

Everyone 13 and older can choose to sing in the chorus, dance English country-style, act in the Mummer’s play, play in the band, craft props and decorations, help with setup/sign-in/organization, serve as photographers/videographers, or lend a hand with schlepping/assembling large props, etc.

Children ages 6-12 may either learn and perform their own set, or work on props and decorations. A parent must accompany children ages 6-7 during activities, and parents are responsible for supervising children ages 5 and under.

We hope to be able to accommodate all who register, but space is limited, particularly for those who want to dance.

At 1:00pm, all learn 2-3 songs that everyone may sing. We then separate into activity groups to prepare. After a snack break, we review everything and put it all together. At 4:00pm, we have the Grand Procession and perform our mini-Revels.

Can’t come for the full afternoon? Then join the audience at 4:00pm, when we share our performance with local residents at the Rachel Carson Meadow Festival.

Cost: Free! Register by May 10: Register using our online form

Time: 1:00-5:00pm (informal picnic at noon; public performance at 4:00pm)
