The Safety Harbor Library Foundation invites you to swing with jazz vocalist Christiana Drapkin and her band on a joyous romp through American Standards featuring songs from Great American Songbook. Enjoy numbers such as Ac-cent-tchu-ate the Positive, Moon River, Days of Wine and Roses, Satin Doll and more. The show is Thursday, January 26, at 7:00 pm, with refreshments at 6:30 pm.
Tickets are $12.00. Proceeds to benefit the Foundation’s capital campaign, Let’s Build a Story, a 20/20 Vision, to raise funds for a second floor meeting room. Tickets may be purchased prior to the show at the Library and if still available, at the door. Only 120 open seating tickets sold.
Jazz vocalist Christiana Drapkin has been performing in New York and on the East Coast for over twenty years. She is noted for her lyrical and highly personal delivery of ballads and for her abandoned yet artful scat improvisations. Christiana’s singing is deeply immersed in the rich traditions of Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Carmen McRae. For more information, visit www.christianadrapkin.com.
