Terese Geneco (originally from Canandaigua) is currently the star of "the longest running nightclub act on Broadway!" Genecco is a multiple award-winning vocalist, bandleader, and comedian who has quickly become an audience and critic's favorite as she enters her third year of an open-ended run of performances at New York City's world renowned Iridium Jazz Club. Genecco brings her high-energy concert - reminiscent of Louis Prima, Keely Smith, and The Rat Pack era in Las Vegas - home to upstate New York for three shows only at DCT, accompanied by a 7-piece "little big band," featuring Rick Holland on trumpet.

"There were no 'mice' in the Ratpack - it was strictly an all-boy's club. But if Frank, Dean, and Sammy ever returned from teh Great Casino in teh Sky, the first young female singer that I'd recommend to join their clan is this high-voltage entertainer. Ms. Genecco is deeply rooted in the early 1960s, the colorful last gasp of the era of swingin' lovers, and, as such, draws equally from Louis Prima and Sammy Davis on one hand and Ray Charles and Elvis on the other. On the last Tuesday of each month, she and her three horns and five rhythm put on an unstoppable juggernaut of a set at the Iridium, with one hard-hitting swinger after another, pausing only for what she describes as a mandatory 'two-ballad maximum.' The calendar may say Dec. 28, but Ms. Genecco makes every show seem like New Year's Eve." - Wall Street Journal
