About the event
Step Into the Soulful World of Billie Holiday
Join us for an enchanting evening that pays tribute to the timeless elegance and profound artistry of Billie Holiday, the legendary “Lady Day.” Let the velvety strains of her music carry you to a smoky jazz club of the 1930s, where every note tells a story and every lyric aches with emotion.
The night will unfold with the rich, sultry melodies of Billie’s most beloved songs played on vinyl, paired with a stirring live performance of her iconic hits, including the hauntingly beautiful Strange Fruit. Between songs, we’ll dive into her life through readings from her autobiography, Lady Sings the Blues, exploring the highs and heartaches that shaped her unforgettable voice.
Immerse yourself in the soulful atmosphere, enhanced by evocative jazz-inspired artwork by Timothy Ellis. Savor a menu inspired by Billie’s roots, featuring hearty New Orleans-style gumbo, fresh cornbread, and refreshing mint…
