“A jazz singer of cool composure and artful subtlety” New York Times

“Her wit and easy swing” The New Yorker

LIBBY YORK is not the kind of jazz singer that needs vocal pyrotechnics to engage an audience. Whether she is singing a ballad or swinging hard on a standard, her deep connection to the lyrics and subtle improvisations on the melody convey an intimacy that makes each song feel like she is telling a story about her own life. On DREAMLAND, York’s newest recording, she once again plies her rich, expressive voice to a set of mostly lesser-done standards that highlight her ability to cut to the emotional core of a song.

Additionally, we're providing limited tickets for an exquisite three-course dinner by Chef Martha Hubbard upstairs at Unity Table, prior to the show. Join us for an evening of music, community, and culinary delight!

Course 1: Spicy Seared Tuna with a Soba Noodle Salad

Course 2: Black Garlic Braised Short Ribs with Miso and Sweet Potato Purée, served with Spicy Bok Choy

Course 3: Yuzu Angel Food Cake with a Strawberry and Lemongrass Sauce

Price:

$35 general seating

$150 for dinner + concert (28tix)
