Superb voice blends with sublimed guitar when Abigail Rockwell (Rock) and Sean Harkness (Hark) present their premiere duo concert on Wednesday, February 17 at 10 pm at Rockwood Music Hall (196 Allen St, New York, NY). Harkness, a veteran, versatile, and exciting guitarist combines forces with Rockwell (granddaughter of American illustrator Norman Rockwell), who made her successful NYC jazz debut in 2015 after performing out west at various spots, including the Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara and Tar Pit in Los Angeles.
For this concert, audiences should expect the unpredictable, including an original Rock & Hark tune (a fresh tango), a never recorded song by Hall of Fame songwriter Hugh Prestwood, Rockwell and Harkness originals, and standards with a twist. The Rock & Hark credo: "No rules, no shoulds, no dress code--just distinctive melodies with magical mojo thrown in for good measure." The cover for this show is $10. Go to:
