SMALL POTATOES is Jacquie Manning and Rich Prezioso. This Chicago-based duo has been touring on the
folk circuit since 1993. They’ve traveled a million miles, becoming sought-after regulars at many clubs,
coffeehouses and house concerts across the U.S. They have made repeat appearances at major folk festivals,
including the Kerrville Folk Festival, the Walnut Valley Folk Festival, and Philadelphia Folk Festival. They
were one of the “most requested” acts at the 1999 Falcon Ridge New Artist Showcase. Jacquie is also a winner
of the 1998 Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Contest.
They call themselves eclecto-maniacs. They describe their music as “Celtic to Cowboy” and say it has taken
them “years of careful indecision” to come up with a mix of music that ranges from country, blues, and swing to
Irish, with songwriting that touches on all of those styles and more. Their four recordings, “Alive!”, “Waltz of
the Wallflowers”, “Time Flies”, and “Raw” cover all these styles. They both sing, they both play guitars and an
array of other instruments. They even yodel. Dirty Linen Magazine called them “one of the most polished,
inventive, and entertaining shows on the circuit.” Sing Out Magazine called them “wonderfully eclectic” and
said “Small Potatoes might well be leading mainstays on the folk scene for years to come.”
