Marc Jordan & Amy Sky … Together in Concert is, in short, magical.
Two much-loved and respected, multiple-award-winning Canadian singer-songwriters fuse their individual talents to create a spellbinding evening of entertainment. As Canadian broadcaster Ross Porter wrote, “If music is doing its job, one of its functions is to act as a salve to the troubled times in our lives. Marc performs … with so much affection and imagination, the mission is accomplished.” The very same can be said of Amy.
Throughout the evening, aside from their wry humour and anecdotes spanning 36 years of marriage, each will perform a generous sampling of their own hits — for example, Amy’s I Will Take Care of You, Til You Love Somebody and Love, Pain and the Whole Damn Thing, and Marc’s Marina Del Rey, Tears of Hercules and, of course, his worldwide No. 1 hit, Rhythm of My Heart. Nonetheless, the real magic comes when Marc and Amy sing together — the melody intertwined with innovative and unexpected harmonies. His smoky, jazz-tinged voice comes in above her gutsy, gravelly alto, next phrase they weave around each other, and Amy is soaring over Marc, so deliciously evident in songs like Long Shot and Free Fallin’ from their critically acclaimed Juno-nominated album, He Sang, She Sang. For this series of concerts, they will be joined by a group of outstanding musical friends under the direction of renowned producer/composer and keyboardist Lou Pomanti.
Marc Jordan & Amy Sky … Together in Concert — the whole is, indeed, greater than the sum of its parts.
