Flickinger Center Hosted THE PURPLE PIANO with more planned for April & May

Chris Edwards Editor

Alamogordo’s the Flickinger Center for the Performing Arts hosted an awesome show last night with more awesomeness in store through May.

THE PURPLE PIANO” was last nights performance showcasing Prince’s hits, masterfully delivered with vocals and solo a piano.

Live from his Las Vegas Residency, Marshall Charloff brought the audience an interactive, intimate, and highly entertaining show. Audience members sang along and a few joined him on stage.

For over a decade, Marshall has established his dominance as the world’s leading Prince Tribute Artist.

Coming from fronting the greatest Prince tribute show in the world, working with the Atlanta Rhythm Section and writing and producing the Commodores, Marshall Charloff created his solo tribute to Prince–the only production of its kind in the world. “The Purple Piano” is so enthusiastically-received that it landed a full-time residency in Las Vegas–delighting Prince fans from across the globe and to several hundred lucky ticket holders in Alamogordo, they too got to experience a show to delight the senses.

With a nod to other great artists the show peaked with the Prince Tribute and a happy and engaged audience.
More performance at the Flickinger include:

THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 2022 AT 7 PM

Jarabe Mexicano

Jarabe Mexicano invites audiences on a joyride through a versatile songbook of Mexican Folk as well as Rock & Roll, Tex-Mex, Latin Rock, and Reggae-Cumbia. Performing on stringed folk instruments accompanied by lively percussion, Jarabe’s dramatic, harmonized vocals in Spanish and English have gained them the admiration from audiences across the country.

The quintet, with its eclectic border spirit, stands out with performances by lead vocalist Gustavo Alcoser, José Martín Márquez on requinto, Kevin Lomes on vihuela, Chris Behrens with his guitarrón, and musical director Danny Brito on percussion. Cultural anthropologist, distinguished author, and admirer Dr. Alejandro Lugo raves that Jarabe's musicians "are truly excellent and bring new blood to the musical traditions they perform... their version of La Malagueña is simply the best I've heard in decades, if not ever."
