Friday, October 7th at 8 p.m. will mark the return of the popular Chicago-based duo, Small Potatoes, to the Cozmic Café in Placerville.  Jacquie Manning and Rich Prezioso are Small Potatoes.  The duo has been touring on the folk circuit since 1993 and in that time they've become sought-after regulars at many clubs, coffeehouses across the U.S.  They have made repeat appearances at major folk festivals, including the Kerrville Folk Festival, the Walnut Valley Folk Festival, and Philadelphia Folk Festival. They were one of the "most requested" acts at the 1999 Falcon Ridge New Artist Showcase.  Jacquie is also a winner of the 1998 Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Contest. 

Often called eclecto-maniacs, the duo describes 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.  The duo's performances feature 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.  

Dirty Linen Magazine called the duo "one of the most polished, inventive, and entertaining shows on the circuit."  Sing Out Magazine called "Time Flies" a "wonderful, wonderfully eclectic" album and said "Small Potatoes might well be leading mainstays on the folk scene for years to come."  Their new album, "Waltz of the Wallflowers" appeared on several "Best of 2000" radio playlists, including WFMT's syndicated "Midnight Special".  

            Manning grew up in North Aurora, IL. She bumped into the Chicago folk scene in 1976 and became a regular performer at the Earl of Old Town, Somebody Else's Troubles and Holsteins. She played Celtic music, rock-n-roll and even some country. Her voice, she believes, is her strongest instrument with a tremendous range of emotion and expression.

 Prezioso grew up in Fort Lee, NJ. He believes he may be the only person in his hometown that can yodel. He has played blues, country, folk, and rock as a solo and in acoustic and electric bands. He studied classical guitar and composition, worked as a jingle writer for Captain Crunch commercials, among others, for a few years. He is gaining a reputation in the America's folk community as a songwriter and as a "guitar whiz." 

 Tickets for the 8 p.m. performance are $15 and available at the Cozmic Café, 594 Main Street in Placerville (530) 642-8481, and Four Sisters Coffee in Georgetown (530) 333-2305.  For ticket sales and holds call the Cozmic Café (530) 642-8481.  For further information: (530) 333-1018 www.qnoteproductions.com.
