FLCC honors Tom Waits with 'Swordfishtrombones Revisited'

 

Over a dozen Finger Lakes Community College faculty and alumni musicians have been putting in long hours rehearsing for what has

become an annual tradition in honor of experimental musician and raconteur Tom Waits.

The ensemble Drop Dead Suits and female vocalists Sad Luck Dames will recreate Waits' "Swordfishtrombones" album in a concert at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 4, in Stage 14 at the main campus, 3325 Marvin Sands Drive. Entry is $2 for the general public or free with an FLCC ID.

The event, called "Swordfishtrombones Revisited," celebrates the 30th anniversary of the album's release as well as Waits' birthday - he turns 63 on Dec. 7.  It's the fourth year faculty, staff and alumni have come together for a Waits celebration at FLCC.
