The music, ranging from American Songbook standards to brilliant and quirky songs by current indie songwriters, trains a knowing eye on the ever-complicated, ever-simple story of what we go through when love happens to us. It stars singer/songwriter, pianist, and two-time Tony nominee Bob Stillman, joined by three genre-blending vocalists (Rachel Bay Jones, Martha Redbone, and Bryce Ryness) and three musicians (Sean Harkness, guitar; Danny Weller, bass; Tim McLafferty, drums), combining talents to span styles from cool jazz to bluegrass to old-school soul and rock. Songwriters include Gershwin, Rodgers & Hart, Burke & Van Heusen, Laura Nyro, Ben Folds, Joni Mitchell, Stephin Merritt, and Stevie Wonder. It Could Happen To You is a celebration of love in all its confusing, redeeming glory. event_1194 WORLD FINANCIAL CENTER IN THE LOOP http://www.artsworldfinancialcenter.com/cgi-bin/Go.cgi?q_id=1192 <img src="http://www.artsworldfinancialcenter.com/resources/10841/yarn.jpg" /> WORLD FINANCIAL CENTER IN THE LOOP Friday, February 17, 2012 12â€“2pm Courtyard (across from Starbucks) WFC In The Loop will be partnering with <a href="Habitat For Humanity â€“ New York">http://www.habitatnyc.org/</a> to donate all of this year's projects to twelve deserving families who will become first-time homeowners in 2012.
