Anna Wilson is a critically acclaimed jazz artist and songwriter whose recent album, Yule Swing!, reached No. 12 on the Billboard jazz chart. Her decadent and powerful voice, which Jazz Times likens to “crème de cocoa,” has earned her shared billings with Josh Grobin, Al Jarreau, and countless others.

Floyd Cramer is one of the most admired and beloved instrumentalists of all time. His distinctive touch at the piano, which he called the “slip note,” is so uniquely his that it has become instantly identifiable and widely imitated in country, pop, and rock music. Exemplified by his 1960 smash hit, “Last Date,” Floyd’s piano was an essential part of the “Nashville Sound” genre of music during the 1950s and ‘60s, and his signature style can be heard on the ...

Since the age of 4, Jim Witter knew he belonged on the stage.  “My mother used to get phone calls from the neighbors saying that they were enjoying the concert I was doing on the front porch!” he remembers. “There’s really nothing else I ever wanted to do”, he recalls about growing up in Ontario, Canada. “I remember friends asking me in school what it was I was going to do when I graduated, and the answer was always the ...

The Strutters have presented formal concerts, symphony pops performances and ... READ MORE >
