“Our goal as performers has always been to create an atmosphere that is fun, entertaining and often moving while maintaining a standard of quality and professionalism that has become the hallmark of our careers. More to the point, we design our performances to reflect a certain elegance and style that is ideally suited for venues where class and good taste are valued.” - Mary Jo Maluso & Rick Blackson

Since 1990, the team of Mary Jo Maluso & Rick Blackson has established itself as a premiere cabaret act. As such, they receive the most effusive compliments from the most discriminating and selective audiences.

​

Being accomplished actors enables the duo to bring out every nuance of a lyric. Songs from their extensive repertoire have been carefully selected featuring Broadway and American standards seasoned with Rick’s originals, little-known gems, and when appropriate, country and novelty songs. Their Holiday offerings are especially popular during that special season.
