MOLLY MCFADDEN & FRIENDS
Return to Perform The Great American Songbook
Creative 360 welcomes vocalist Molly McFadden and pianist David Smith along with Roland Wallace (bass) and Mike McHenry (drums) to celebrate an evening of music and camaraderie.
While living in New York, McFadden performed in cozy cabarets in Manhattan and clubs along the eastern seaboard for many years as well as in film, on TV and regional theatres. A talented jazz stylist, the New York Times called her 'an up-and-coming performer with a beautiful voice in a disappearing genre.'
Molly and her husband, Brian, owned and operated Molly’s Bistro in downtown Midland where they featured jazz artists from New York, Detroit, and Traverse City. Molly was a featured vocalist of the 19-member big band she created that opened for such jazz greats as Ramsey Lewis, John Pizzarelli and Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra.
David and Roland are both Dow retirees. Mike is a retiree from health care. David now resides in Germany, but Roland and Mike are still here in Midland and are actively involved in the local music scene. Roland is the longest serving member of the Midland Symphony Orchestra.
Put on your dancing shoes or sit back and enjoy the show.
You are encouraged to bring your own refreshments, beverages, anything you like!
