Small
Potatoes is Jacquie Manning and Rich Prezioso. This
Chicago-based duo has been touring since 1993 and in
that time they’ve become sought-after regulars at many
venues across the U.S. Jacquie and Rich call
themselves eclecto-maniacs. They describe their music as
“Celtic to Cowboy” and say it has taken them “years of
careful indecision” to come up with a mix of music that
ranges from country, blues, and swing to Irish, with
songwriting that touches on all of those styles and
more. Their four recordings, “Alive!”, “Waltz of the
Wallflowers”, “Time Flies”, and “Raw” cover all these
styles. They both sing, they both play guitars and an
array of other instruments. They even yodel. Dirty Linen
Magazine called them “one of the most polished,
inventive, and entertaining shows on the circuit.” Sing
Out Magazine called them “wonderfully eclectic” and said
“Small Potatoes might well be leading mainstays on the
folk scene for years to come.” When you see Small
Potatoes perform, you hear two great voices, some fine
guitar playing, and a touch of tin whistle, flute,
mandolin, bodhran, and other percussion toys. Together
they present a truly rare blend of vocal and
instrumental abilities, award-winning songwriting, and
arranging talents. They have the unique ability to adapt
to the style of music they happen to be playing. They
seem comfortably at home whether playing an upbeat
cowboy swing tune or a tender, traditional
ballad--though there are no rules here either, sometimes
the traditional sounds contemporary, sometimes the
contemporary sounds traditional. And they also pay
attention to the little things, the warmth, the humor
and a rapport with the audience that makes for a
memorable performance.
