    The third in the Merrimans' Playhouse Jazz Performance Series, this performance features The Merriman Trio with special guest, Eric Clancy on piano. The remainder of the trio are South Bend musicians Mary Merriman on double bass, and Stephen Merriman on drums. This concert offers an opportunity to experience the art of jazz in downtown South Bend, that is affordable and family friendly. The performance will be two sets with a 20 minute intermission. Refreshments will be available before and after each set. Eric is a jazz pianist from Fort Wayne, and performs in the Fort Wayne, South Bend, and Indianapolis areas. Eric has been playing music since he was four years old. He received instruction in harmony and composition from George Rickton, a student of Allan Reuss who played with Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. By age 23 he was teaching jazz theory at Huntington College. Eric now plays and teaches full time. He plays everything from solo piano to double tierd keyboards with full midi regalia. Eric has been involved in several recording projects, which have received local and regional popularity. Mr. Clancy has made several recordings and has his own group called the Eric Clancy Trio. The trio performs jazz standards and some original music with a mixture of harmonies and rhythms taken from a variety of swing, baroque, near-eastern, bop, and post-bop idioms. Stephen and Mary Merriman put their energy into the art of the jazz trio, and promoting jazz in the South Bend area. They plan to continue bringing high quality jazz artists through Merrimans' Playhouse. Location: Recital Hall
