Rising gypsy jazz stars at the Silk Mill

Posted

HAWLEY, PA — On Saturday, December 6 at 8 p.m., the gypsy jazz band Rhythm Future Quartet will perform in the underground theater of the Hawley Silk Mill. The quartet features Jason Anick on violin, Olli Soikkeli and Vinny Raniolo on guitars, and Greg Loughman on bass. Over the years, they have individually performed alongside notable musicians like John Jorgenson, Frank Vignola, Tommy Emmanuel, Bucky Pizzarelli, Andreas Öberg and Howard Alden and have finally joined forces to form this special group.

The Wall Street Journal wrote of Olli Soikkeli, along with Jason Anick, one of the front-men and lead soloists of the group, “Olli Soikkeli, is a riveting Finnish guitarist who combines astonishing dexterity and speed with pure soul in a way that places him among the worthiest current day successors to the legacy of the great Django.”

The theatre is located on the lowest level of the Hawley Silk Mill at 8 Silk Mill Drive. Tickets cost $15 to $20 and can be purchased online at www.harmonypresents.com or at 209 Main Ave. in Hawley, PA. Call 570/588-8077 or visit harmonypresents.com.
