DCCA
Coffeehouse Series presents Jill Jack
Singer/songwriter Jill Jack has won numerous awards in her hometown of
Detroit, and has launched successful tours of England as well as across
America. Darke County Center for the Arts will present the charismatic
artist as part of their intimate Coffeehouse Series on Thursday, May 3
at Arcanum Historical Society’s Wayne Trail House in downtown Arcanum.
The show begins at 7 p.m.
According to DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins, Jill Jack is a
unique performer who has no interest in pigeonholing herself into one
or even a few genres. “Jill makes herself at home in all musical
styles; she can croon a pop standard like “Moon River,” whisper the
folk lullaby “All the Pretty Little Horses,” or belt out the gospel
tune “Oh Happy Day” with equal conviction and proficiency,” Mr. Rawlins
stated. “Her innate talent is matched by her ability to form a
connection to her audience that pulls everyone in to the world she
creates with her songs,” he concluded.
DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan explained that DCCA’s Coffeehouse
Series was established to present high quality artists performing in a
casual social setting where food and drink are also served; this
concert is the final Coffeehouse presentation for the 2017-2018 season.
“In addition to the opportunity to enjoy an outstanding concert in a
comfortably accessible setting, patrons can partake of an enticing
array of tasty homemade tidbits available for a small donation provided
by the Arcanum Historical Society,” Ms. Jordan said. “These exciting
uptown shows in a down-home environment provide rare access to
first-class performers, and can be thoroughly enjoyed by music lovers
of all ages,” she concluded.
DCCA’s Coffeehouse Series is sponsored by Eileen and Steve Litchfield
and Rodney Oda . DCCA also receives operating support from the Harry D.
and Esther Stephens Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow
Foundation and Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund. DCCA membership
contributions also help support these shows.
Tickets for the Jill Jack show cost $10, and can be obtained by
contacting DCCA at dcca@centerforarts.net or calling 937-547-0908.
Tickets are also available online at www.CenterForArts.net.
