The husband and wife duo Tuck & Patti have been touring the world and wowing audiences for more than three decades.

From their beautifully composed originals to rearrangements of jazz, rock, soul, and modern pop hits, this duo has performed in such esteemed jazz clubs as The Blue Note and Seattle’s Jazz Alley.

The couple will perform on Thursday, April 12, 7:30 p.m. at Orcas Center. Tickets are $18 for members and $20 for non-members at 376-ACT1 or www.orcascenter.org.

Originally on the Windham Hill label, the duo’s numerous chart-topping contemporary jazz albums include “Tears of Joy,”  “Love Warriors,” “Reckless Precision” and  “Paradise Found.” Their latest album, “I Remember You,” features standards from the Great American Songbook.

“Tuck & Patti aren’t your ordinary duet team,” say organizers. “Patti Cathcart has one of the warmest, richest voices in jazz.  Her lush vocals are like chocolate to the ear – richly nuanced, bitter sweet and and perfectly paired with the complementary guitar work of Tuck Andress. Andress is a guitar virtuoso who can play the parts of four or more instruments at the same time – on the guitar alone.”
