Peoria Public Library North Branch presents Music in the McKenzie: Small Potatoes at North Branch Sunday, May 18 at 2:00 p.m. for a repertoire of music described as “Celtic to Cowboy.”
Small Potatoes, a Chicago based folk duo of Jacquie Manning and Rich Prezioso, has been touring together since 1993. In that time they’ve become sought-after regulars at many clubs and coffeehouses across the U.S.
They say it has taken “years of careful indecision” to come up with a mix of music that ranges from country, blues, and swing to Irish, with songwriting that touches on all of those styles and more. Superb musicianship and showmanship, award-winning songwriting, and a strong sense of tradition has made them, as Dirty Linen Magazine once said, “one of the most polished, inventive, and entertaining shows on the circuit.” For more on the history of Small Potatoes visit their website at smallpotatoesmusic.com.
Proceeds from CD sales will benefit Friends of the Peoria Public Library. The show is free and open to all ages.
