The Diane Perry Trio
The Barron Arts Center
Woodbridge, NJ
TICKETS ESSENTIAL!!!
I am so grateful to be asked back by Cynthia Knight of The Barron and the town of Woodbridge! My concert in August of 2020 had been cancelled due to the pandemic. We did rather quickly pivot to a live televised show with no audience, and it was recorded and broadcast locally all through the next year. But a show with no audience is just not the same!!!
It was to have been a celebration of 100 years of women's suffrage in 2020.
Tickets are FREE in advance, and they go extremely quickly. I hope to share the video performance some time after, but it's not as much fun as LIVE!!!
For information on how to obtain tickets, Go to:
https://www.twp.woodbridge.nj.us/calendar.aspx?view=list&year=2023&month=9&day=29
THIS CONCERT WILL RUN OUT OF TICKETS IN ADVANCE, so order yours now.

******************************************************************
AS YOU MUST HAVE REALIZED...
most of my shows were either cancelled or rescheduled due to the pandemic
.
But, there are EXCEPTIONS!!
A concert originally planned for May at The Barron Arts Center was instead filmed in August, and the live show (no audience though) aired on Woodbridge TV, and got some great reviews and comments.
YOU CAN WATCH IT!
Go to the contact page, and send me your email address and zip code, and I will send you a link where you can watch the show anytime.
I was joined by my wonderful colleagues I've known and played with many times over the years; Ted Brancato on piano, (who was so fabulous on my jazz CD AND my Folk Project Getaway performance) and the incomparable Tom Charlap on bass. (and you have GOT to see this cool BASS he plays!!!)
We had a lot of fun doing some old favorites and also a number of new songs and arrangements never heard before, so please do shoot me that message with your email and zip code.
I have been remiss in informing my fans of some other shows I've been a part of in the past, but as you know, it's been a tumultuous time for everyone. I will try to put more of these performances, whether live, livestreamed, or taped, on these pages for you so you can join me there!
Please keep safe, and God bless you and your loved ones in these troubled times.
