Sarah Hughes and Tony Martucci present an evening of uplifting improvised music. The first half of the concert will beTony Martucci playing solo. After a brief intermission, Sarah will join Tony on stage. Tony Martucci is a storyteller. Through the language of rhythm, the drums become a voice that sings, conjuring images in the mind's eye, and memories from the listener's soul, for each a unique experience of reflective calm.
Sarah Hughes and Tony Martucci together transform the song into dance. Their fearless improvisational dialogue invites the listeners to join in their sonic world of honest vulnerability that knows no creative boundaries.
