On Friday, Feb. 17, from 6 to 9 p.m. it’s 3M-Ki bringing the house down, featuring the lovely Susannah Martin on vocals accompanied by Robin Miller, Eric Miller and Patrick Ki.
This is truly a super-group combing their talents to bring new life into every song they play covering all the classics. Astounding harmonies and virtuoso performances by the musicians enthrall audiences and take them on a magical carpet ride through the classics of all time.
Recording and performing artists Miller and Ki round out this trio perfectly, as both musicians are virtuosos on their instruments and talented singers as well.
The band’s versions of classic pop/rock tunes by artists such as the Eagles, the Beatles, Fleetwood Mac and Sting along with well-crafted originals and spicy Latin jazz have won them an enthusiastic fan-base on the local music scene.
Singer Susannah Martin, adds her fine feminine flair to the band. She wails on R&B or Rock tunes, delivers a touch of sultry jazz improv and sings fluently in Brazilian Portuguese and Latin hits.
Martin also provides a strong back beat on the “Cajon” or (beat box) to help drive the band.
Martin is known locally as one of Sedona’s “Dynamite Divas,” and is also musician for SUUF (Sedona Unitarian Universalist Fellowship) and a popular vocal coach in the area.
