Veteran jazz vocalist to perform at Carnegie Carnegie
Jan. 24
Michele Bensen & the Bensen Burners
Michele Bensen returns to Carnegie Carnegie Hall to bring a little sizzle to ease the bleak mid-winter doldrums. BNY Mellon Presents Michele Bensen and the Bensen Burners at the Music Hall at 8 p.m. Jan. 24.
The Pittsburgh native has been singing professionally since she was 18. Her career has taken her up and down the East Coast and to the Caribbean, and her talents are widely recognized. She was inducted into The Pittsburgh Jazz Hall of Fame in 2009 and, in 2013, was the first of only two women honored by the Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild as a Living Jazz Legend.
Michele Bensen and the Bensen Burners will perform with featured musicians Robbie Kline on sax and flute and “Catch 22’s” gifted guitarist Ken Karsh. They will be joined by Steve Trettel on percussion, Mike Houlis on bass and Donna Davis on keyboard.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Wine, beer and snacks will be for sale in the Studio before the concert and during intermission.
General admission tickets are $20 at www.carnegiecarnegie.org or at the door.
