Pittsburgh Jazz Great Phat Man Dee and the Liquitones

                                          to Appear at Clarion University–Venango Campus                                          

Phat Man Dee and the Liquitones will perform at Clarion University–Venango Campus on Friday, February 23, 2007, at 7:30 p.m., in the Robert W. Rhoades Center Auditorium. The concert is free and open to the public.

A Pittsburgh jazz sensation with a powerful three octave range, Phat Man Dee sings standard jazz, ragtime, and post-Be Bop original compositions, all with a twist of comedy. She was recently nominated "One to Watch" in the pop music category of Pittsburgh Magazine's “Harry Schwalb Awards.”

Phat Man Dee is currently touring with her ensemble of musicians that includes Colter Harper, Tony Depaolis, Mike Murray, and Chris Parker and is known for a performance loaded with heart, high energy, and an unexpected twist of comedic burlesque.

Her strong command and love of the jazz repertoire has been viewed in appearances with such acts as Chicken John's Circus Ridiculous, Wolgemut, The Goddess Perlman, Neke Carson, The Bindlestiff Family Roadshow, The Bull Seal! Collective, Moritu Gypsy Dance Ensemble, and The Interplanetary Ramen Noodle Wrestling Federation. She has also appeared with the Pittsburgh Opera, The Jazz Mandolin Project, and Laughingsquid.
