Eve Elliot drew me into a world that ended a hundred years ago, but made me feel like I was experiencing it in real time today. The names are all familiar - Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller etc., but their shrouded-by-time stories are presented in a fresh innovative way and Eve’s brilliant musical talent made the whole experience uplifting and entertaining....

If ragtime music was as popular today as it was in 1899, Eve Elliott would be Taylor Swift. She's a singular piano playing talent and it's a real pleasure to watch her perform. She makes it look effortless. She's also a very charming storyteller and honestly, I learned a lot about the titans of ragtime music from this show....

"Syncopated Debauchery: A Ragtime Celebration" is an entertaining, educational and moving show which delves deeply into the origins of ragtime piano. Right out of the gate, Eve Elliot creates a direct and intimate connection with her audience through informal, humorous banter, clever costumes and props, audience participation, and of course, her tremendous skill on the piano. Eve's show packs in lots of information, but it doesn't feel that way to the people out front. We're drawn into her tales of the larger-than-life personalities who created and influenced the evolution of ragtime; how they lived, occasionally crossed paths, their playing styles, contributions to music history, and the challenges they faced throughout their lives. She pr...

Wonderful!
Perhaps Eve’s canvas is an antidote to the perverse notion of race in America being foisted on the US by the current regime, a mythical white male hegemony....

This is a very entertaining evening of story telling along with virtuoso piano performances by Eve Elliott - a one-woman show recounting the history of ragtime and stride through episodes in the lives of Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton and Fats Waller. Not to be missed....

I expected piano prowess, saucy humor, vaudevillian antics, and fun ragtime facts... but what I didn't expect was what a moving tribute Eve Elliot created for the great musicians and personalities who made American music what it is today. Eve has created a fun, brilliant, and inspiring performance that honors the legacy of the ragtime greats and brings their big personalities and music to life. This show is exceptional! ...
