Clarinetist Joe Giacinto at The Listening Room

Clarinetist Joe Giacinto, 22, of Gilbert will perform jazz and pop fusion tunes at Atticus Music | The Listening Room on Sunday, September 13th, 4-5 p.m.

Giacinto, a music major at Mesa Community College, was honored to play “The Star-Spangled Banner” to kick off the Arizona Diamondbacks home opener against the Detroit Tigers at Chase Field on March 30 in Phoenix. He is inspired by many musical artists of today and yesterday.

The Listening Room setlist in Fountain Hills will include twists and riffs off artists Bruno Mars, Amy Winehouse, Adele, Bobby McFerrin (“Don’t Worry, Be Happy”) and Pharrell Williams (“Happy”).

Giacinto, who was born blind, says Winehouse’s song, “Our Day Will Come” is essentially the theme music to his life because “it’s manifesting that dreams come true.”

Giacinto, who is a passionate car lover, said he will conclude his one-hour set with an original song titled, “Blue McLaren,” named after his favorite automobile.
