For the safety of those attending in person appropriate Covid-19 procedures will be followed.
Our kick off group will be the Argiro Quintet. Argiro has vast experience in all phases and aspects of music creation, production and the performing arts. He has been affiliated with dozens of stars in all media. He is joined by Hartford based guitarist Rich Goldstein, Mario DeCiutiis on vibes, Jason Schwartz on bass and Clark Seibold on percussion. Also joining the quintet will be special guest vocalist Atla DeChamplain.
Our headliner for the evening will be five-time Grammy Nominee Karrin Allyson, vocalist, pianist and songwriter. Widely recognized as one of the most gifted voices of her generation with fifteen albums under her belt, she has built a mastery of The Great American Song Book, blues, pop, be-bop, Brazilian and French chansons. Allyson’s creativity seems to have no bounds!
