Lady Sings the Blues

Lady Sings the Blues celebrated the legends, pioneers, divas, and torch-singers that defined the blues and jazz movements throughout the 20^th century. This one night event featured a rich collection of standards by the likes of Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Etta James, Dinah Washington, Anita O’Day, Lena Horne and more.

An all-female cast paid tribute to the iconic women who crossed time, cultural divides, and social backgrounds to shape the feel and sound of the blues as an art form. Twenty-five local singers were accompanied by a jazz trio of Piano (Robert Michael Moreno), Bass (Mike Wilhelm), and Drums (John Picetti).
