Judy Carmichael “Let’s Swing!”

Grammy nominated American pianist, vocalist, songwriter, Judy Carmichael celebrates the music of Peggy Lee, Benny Goodman, Fats Waller and other jazz greats of the Swing Era, featuring musical gems from the 1930s and ‘40s Great American Songbook, as well as her own witty compositions. No less than Count Basie himself nicknamed Judy “Stride” in reference to her mastery of that early piano style popularized by Thomas “Fats” Waller and other giants of early jazz.

Judy’s high-energy music and hilarious anecdotes of her adventures on the road provide a joyous evening of fun. Let’s SWING!

Judy will be joined by guitarist Sam Dunn.
