Judy Carmichael returns to Dixon for two events. This Grammy-nominated jazz artist (piano and vocals) will perform a concert at the Boles Residence, 308 Deer Chase, on the fully-restored 1920 Steinway, with guest artist and jazz guitarist Larry Koonse. She will also perform with Larry the following day, taping her NPR show and podcast, Jazz Inspired before a live audience!
Can you have TOO MUCH Judy? We don't think so! For a discounted price, we are offering a ticket to BOTH events for just $30! Make it a Judy Carmichael weekend!
