Music in the garden
August 7, 2010, 5:30pm - 8:30pm |

Music in the Garden is an
exciting new event for the Garden. Kicking off the inaugural
evening will be jazz vocalist
Kelley Johnson with the John
Hansen trio. Kelley Johnson is an international award winning
jazz vocalist who is known and respected as an arranger, poet
and lyricist with a personal body of recordings. Kelley’s lithe
velvety voice mixes with a feisty delivery, tricky colorful
arrangements and features the gifted and inspired jazz pianist,
John Hansen. An organic groovy singer with a direct approach,
Kelley reaches her audience with storytelling, subtlety,
soulfulness and swing. This promises to be a wonderful summer
evening of music in the garden. |
Bring a picnic dinner and enjoy this
wonderful evening of jazz with us.
