StarCats Free Concert
A delightfully eclectic New England jazz trio, the StarCats was formed in 2017 by vocalist Sarah Clay with the vision to make jazz more fun, accessible, and entertaining for everyone. Inspired by the public outreach of Winton Marsalis, the vocal brilliance of Ella Fitzgerald, and the humor of Mose Allison, the StarCats intertwine standards by greats like Duke Ellington and Thelonius Monk, Bossa Nova by Jobim, and arrangements of Stevie Wonder, Sarah Bareilles, Joni Mitchell and Soundgarden. You'll hear swinging Retro-pop, spicy Latin rhythms, soul-aching ballads and mellow blues.
Sarah Clay (vocals/flute) thrills with expressive, crystalline tone and sultry flute. Bob Ferrier (guitar) sparks joy with tasty chords and playful improvisation. Steve Bulmer (upright bass) lays down a sweet, rhythmic groove that soothes the soul.
"The StarCats are magnificent! Sarah's scat and flawless range... ingenious bass riffs... fingers dancing up down the guitar... I left inspired and uplifted." - Rev. Pirtle, Westhampton. The StarCats have performed at the Northampton Jazz Festival, the Litchfield Sunrise Concert Series, the Pittsfield Jazz Festival, the 1794 Meetinghouse, Workshop 13, Summer on Strong Street Festival, the Westfield Athenaeum, the Berkshire Athenaeum, and more.
This concert is supported in part by a grant from the Southbridge Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
