Singer/songwriter Jill Jack has won numerous awards in her hometown of Detroit, and has launched successful tours of England as well as across America. Darke County Center for the Arts will present the charismatic artist as part of their intimate Coffeehouse Series on Thursday, May 3 at Arcanum Historical Society’s Wayne Trail House in downtown Arcanum. The show begins at 7 p.m.

According to DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins, Jill Jack is a unique performer who has no interest in pigeonholing herself into one or even a few genres. “Jill makes herself at home in all musical styles; she can croon a pop standard like “Moon River,” whisper the folk lullaby “All the Pretty Little Horses,” or belt out the gospel tune “Oh Happy Day” with equal conviction and proficiency,” Mr. Rawlins stated. “Her innate talent is matched by her ability to form a connection to her audience that pulls everyone in to the world she creates with her songs,” he concluded.

DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan explained that DCCA’s Coffeehouse Series was established to present high quality artists performing in a casual social setting where food and drink are also served; this concert is the final Coffeehouse presentation for the 2017-2018 season. “In addition to the opportunity to enjoy an outstanding concert in a comfortably accessible setting, patrons can partake of an enticing array of tasty homemade tidbits available for a small donation provided by the Arcanum Historical Society,” Ms. Jordan said. “These exciting uptown shows in a down-home environment provide rare access to first-class performers, and can be thoroughly enjoyed by music lovers of all ages,” she concluded.

DCCA’s Coffeehouse Series is sponsored by Eileen and Steve Litchfield and Rodney Oda . DCCA also receives operating support from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation and Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund. DCCA membership contributions also help support these shows.

Tickets for the Jill Jack show cost $10, and can be obtained by contacting DCCA at dcca@centerforarts.net or calling 937-547-0908. Tickets are also available online at www.CenterForArts.net.
