Description
Lori Rivera joins with Marshall Otwell to perform Joe Ortiz’s SMOKE. That’s Lori Rivera, the singer formerly with San Francisco a capella favorite "The Bobs"; Marshall Otwell the piano player who worked with Carmen McRae, Dizzy Gillespie, Chick Corea, Mel Torme and Sarah Vaughn; and the artist with the most eclectic credits of all, songwriter Joe Ortiz, who wrote The Village Baker (a Julia Child Cookbook Award nominee), Shakespeare on Golf and BREAD—The Musical. Their combined talents have shaped SMOKE into a smoldering, modern day jazz-opera as well as an unconventional romantic comedy that twists and turns until it arrives at a surprise ending. The show makes it's San Francisco premiere this fall at two very different rooms: Martuni’s, an intimate, hipster bar in the Mission that serves mind-rapturing martini’s (Lori is sure to bring the house down with the Ortiz composition, You Intoxicate Me) and the Rrazz Room (with a 4 piece band) one of the Bay Area’s swankiest night clubs.
