THE TIERNEY SUTTON BAND vocals Sunday June 5 7:00 pm
Tierney Sutton brings a unique touch to the jazz vocal tradition. It's partly musical. Sutton has amazing chops, evident as she twists and turns her way through supercharged tempos. Like all great improvisers, she artfully rearranges melodies so that you hear "Surrey with the Fringe on Top" or "Fly Me to the Moon" in a new way.
