About:
VETERAN CHICAGO SINGER-SONGWRITER MIKE FELTEN RELEASES SIXTH STUDIO ALBUM, FAST MIKEY BLUE EYES, ON LANDFILL RECORDS
CD DEFINED BY DISTINCTIVE ORIGINALS WITH EVOCATIVE WINDY CITY SPIN
He’s been accused of trafficking in “Outsider Americana.” Perhaps a better handle for Mike Felten’s highly distinctive musical approach would be “Chicagoana.” The Windy City is deeply and inexorably ingrained in the veteran singer-songwriter’s mesmerizing musical odes, right down to the names of streets that he’s wandered down and the shady characters haunting them in decades past. Mike knows where all the bones are buried and he’s not shy about letting us in on the secrets, blending folk, blues, and rock influences to spread the news.

About:
On April 4, the collaboration between Chicago Composers’ Consortium and the international ensemble Duo Cortona comes to fruition with the Chicago debut of Duo Cortona, the husband and wife team of violinist Ari Streisfeld (founding member, Jack Quartet) and mezzo-soprano Rachel Calloway ("...the highlight of the concert”, New York Times).
Come join us for a program of new music for voice and violin by composers Lawrence Axelrod, Kathleen Ginther, Eric Moe, Laura Schwendinger and Annika K. Socolofsky.
Duo Cortona is a contemporary music ensemble dedicated to the creation of works for its unique instrumentation: mezzo-soprano and violin, and to exploring new sounds and possibilities for its intimate, expressive, and vital combination. Duo Cortona works to establish a new and thus far unexplored repertoire, pursuing the endless possibilities of this union, and creating opportunities for both established and emerging composers through commissions, competitions, educational workshops, university residencies, and major concert performances.
Duo Cortona was founded at the Cortona Sessions for New Music by Ari Streisfeld and Rachel Calloway. Recent and upcoming performances include the Southern Exposure Series for New Music, East Carolina New Music Initiative, University of Wisconsin, College of Charleston, New Music New College, the Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music, Resonant Bodies Festival, The Stone, the SONiC Festival, New Music on the Point, and Contemporary Undercurrent of Song Project (Princeton).
Chicago Composers’ Consortium (C3) promotes the creation and performance of new music with a primary focus on composers and musicians from the Chicago area and the Midwest. As a presenter of contemporary music in Chicago for over thirty years, C3 has consistently found new ways to introduce audiences to what is new and exciting in music and to engage, educate and involve the community in an ongoing relationship of musical exploration.
What sets C3 apart from other contemporary music organizations is a history of innovative composer-generated collaborative projects and a commitment to adventurous programming, including the presentation of works composers deserving of a larger audience.

About the show:
In the first of many personal stories around the inception of Lester Jay into the world of music we begin at the beginning.
Lester Jay is a first generation midwestern child of Lester Jenkins, Sr and JoWanna Jenkins. The story of how Al Green and his catalogue of music became a staple in the Lester Jay sound starts with his mother. Al Green is a native of the same town Lester’s mother is from, Forrest City, Arkansas.
As a child, Lester and his family would travel from Chicago to Forrest City a few times a year to visit family, and those 9-hour car rides were full of Motown, R&B, blues and gospel hits. Al Green seemed to have possessed all those genres in one and is considered a hometown hero of his mother and the town of Forrest City, Arkansas. Al Greens catalogue was engrained in Lester Jay’s musical DNA like the ABC’s are to a child.
In the production of “From Forrest City with Love & Happiness” Lester hopes to give you the experience of taking a drive from Chicago, Illinois to the southern plains of Forrest City, Arkansas full of timeless music from Al Green’s illustrious musical discography from his early works of the 70’s to the 90’s.

About:
CHAI Collaborative Ensemble (CCE) concludes their 2023-24 Season with works that offer brief windows into diverse musical perspectives of four distinctive composers of classical music from the 20th and 21st centuries. Jenni Brandon's Sea Quartet is a colorful tribute to the beauty of the ocean and all the creatures and ecosystems that dwell within it. It was commissioned by the L.A. Musical Salon as part of my composer residency with the Vientos Trio from 2008-2009, and was inspired by her living near the Pacific Ocean. Heitor Villa-Lobos' Trio for Oboe, Clarinet, and Bassoon offers a fusion between various forms of traditional Brazilian rhythms and music and the classical wind trio. Villa-Lobos gravitated towards the raw sounds of wind instruments, and indulged in a variety harmonic clashes, rhythmic dexterity, and dynamic extremes in this work. Gernot Wolfgang's Windows is a pensive yet flowing piece for clarinet, bassoon and piano. In the composer's words, "the main theme of this 12 minute composition in one movement is presented in a variety of musical environments throughout the piece. In an allegorical sense, it is as if the listener was walking down a hallway lined with windows, periodically catching a view of the exterior. The outside world always stays the same, but the perspective of the viewer/listener changes from window to window... a chain of parallax views." Valerie Coleman's Trio Toccata was written in the summer of 2014, and equally showcases the virtuosity of the oboe, bassoon, and piano. In Coleman's words, it is "a lyrical, high paced romp that is heavily jazz influenced."
Featuring:
Andrew Marlin, bassoon
Marianne Parker, piano
Laura Perkett, oboe
Daniel Williams, clarinet
Tickets are Pay-What-You-Can, and are $10-50.
CCE's 2023-24 Season is sponsored in part by the Illinois Arts Council Agency, the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, and the Illinois Creative Recovery Grant Program (B2B Arts). The ensemble also gratefully acknowledges the support from their wonderful community of generous individual donors over the years.

About Cult like:
Cult like is brand new to the music scene, however, each of the band members is not. Each playing in different projects over the years, the guys eventually came together just before the release of the EP, “Pretty Shore”. The band blends together poppy and alternative elements, but also makes whatever they feel like given everyone in the band has a different musical background. The band consists of Brice Lanham (Drums), Mission Marcis (Bass), and Victor Roa (Guitar/Vocals).

About:
My Fair Audrey Hepburn
When you think of Audrey Hepburn, you think of timeless beauty. But Audrey was so much more than a pretty face and a killer clavicle. From WWII refugee to Academy Award winner, from UNICEF beneficiary to UNICEF ambassador, Audrey led a remarkable and exemplary life. Actress, fashion icon, wife, mother, and tireless humanitarian, Audrey is as much beloved today as she was half a century ago. Celebrate Audrey’s 95th birthday in style! Join acclaimed Chicago cabaret artist, Hilary Ann Feldman (“… a tour de force of cabaret, opera, and jazz.” ~Chicago Tribune), along with pianist Beckie Menzie, for her touching, funny, and enlightening tribute to this extraordinary woman.
Hilary Ann Feldman
Called a "tour de force of cabaret, opera, and jazz" by the Chicago Tribune, Hilary Ann Feldman has appeared across the country and in London, England, celebrating music of the Great American Songbook past and present, while paying tribute to some of entertainment's most beloved icons.
Hilary has a reputation for clever storytelling through song, unique subject matter, and an exquisite, versatile singing voice. She is known not only for her unique take on traditional cabaret fare, but also for pushing the boundaries of what that fare can be.
The remarkable success of her tribute to the beloved Audrey Hepburn proved that music could be used to pay tribute to a non-musical icon.
"... a classy musical tribute to Audrey Hepburn. While offering a cabaret show based on a performer known more as an actress than singer might be tricky, Feldman makes it all fly... a lovely vocalist... the right balance of musicality, story, and heart."
~ Cabaret Scenes Magazine
Hilary followed up that triumph with her a tribute to funny woman Carol Burnett, which has been playing to sold out houses since it opened in May 2015 and prompted a couple of phone calls from Carol Burnett herself!
"I absolutely loved the show! I've told a few people this in my life, and now I'm telling you: You are the whole package!"
~ Carol Burnett, TV Legend & Broadway Star
Expertly weaving together her wealth of knowledge on her chosen subject with just the right music to tell the story, Hilary creates clever and compelling performances that surprise and delight audiences.
Hilary’s debut CD, Taking Flight, was named "Cabaret/Folk CD of the Year" by NY Cabaret Hotline. She is also a well-respected vocal and performance coach and the founder of Acts Of Kindness Cabaret, an organization that has raised nearly half a million dollars for local charities through cabaret performance. www.HilaryAnnFeldman.com www.AOKCabaret.org

About:
A night of transportive neoclassical soundscapes by two visionary composers.
Gregory Allison creates with a single violin a sound that travels across great landscapes. He has toured the world with violin in hand and is endlessly inspired by the instrument’s journey around the globe, especially it’s use in South Indian Classical music. His live performance blends the Indian Classical melodic improvisation with his classical sensibility as a film composer, offering the listener a sonic journey through time and space.
He will be performing his 2021 debut album Portal in its entirety, along with new compositions for amplified violin and string quartet.
Gregory recently moved back to Portland after 5 years living in LA, where he started the record label and recording studio Holy Volcano. He has released four albums on the label: one solo, two with collaborator Tristan de Liege, and as producer for the debut album from songwriter Ella Luna. He is currently collaborating with electronic composers to create ReWorked versions of the music from his debut solo record Portal.
Slow Meadow is Houston multi-instrumentalist Matt Kidd. Kidd's releases as Slow Meadow have been celebrated by the New York Observer, NPR's Stephen Thompson, Echoes' John Diliberto, and who sampled Lachrymosia for the platinum-selling song on his debut album, FREE 6LACK. In 2022, Kidd provided the original soundtrack to the film, "My Mind & Me".
Two years following 2017’s Costero, Slow Meadow returned with its third full-length album Happy Occident, a collection of textured ambient melodies. Fueled by the anxiety derivative of modern life and the frenetic and often uncertain state of these ever-changing times, Happy Occident provides music for reflection. A soundtrack to life’s contemplative moments, and an experience akin to mindfulness meditation.
In 2021, Slow Meadow is back with Upstream Dream, its first wholly new music since 2020’s By the Ash Tree, which bookends a period of creative output that introduced Kidd’s vision of calming and meditative ambient music.
With a foundation of piano, string orchestration, and an ever-evolving electronic palette, Slow Meadow has traversed the borders of neoclassical and minimalist electronics with Upstream Dream, delivering a deeply personal and transportive experience that speaks directly to the ebbs and flows and mundanity and marvels of life. With sublime patience, understated
elegance, and surreal atmosphere, Slow Meadow savors the present, remembers the past, and imagines what could be.

About:
Jace McCloy is a professional Baritone singer-songwriter from Lansing, Michigan. He is a 2015 alumni of Lansing Catholic High School, and he graduated in 2020 from Central Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science in Music (Primary Instrument: Voice).
His time at CMU was nothing short of impressive. He participated in Chamber Singers, was an invited soloist at university-sponsored events, and even starred in university operas and musicals! His most notable roles consist of The Mikado in The Mikado (2018), Bishop/Ensemble in Shrek: The Musical (2018), Judge Turpin in Sweeney Todd (2019), Henry Ford in Ragtime (2019), and Don Pedro in Beatrice & Benedict (2020). During the summer of 2019, Jace was also cast in the summer stock season for Dunes Summer Theatre in Michigan City, Indiana. Here, he had the pleasure of playing Luther Billis in South Pacific and Lester/Billy Bob Blood in Hansel and Gretel Meet the Swamp Witch.
After graduating, Jace moved to Chicago for three years, where he got his start with Opera Inter Alia and Chicago Cabaret Professionals. He has worked with the likes of Susan Arjmand, Stewart Thompson, Frieda Lee, Anne & Mark Burnell, Carla Gordon, Hilary Feldman, and many others. Everyone mentioned played a part in his successful performances, including his CCP debut in Passing the Torch in April, 2022! Jace also had the pleasure of working with the incredible Woodstock Playhouse Cast of 2022 in Woodstock, New York! During this summer stock season, he played Reverend Shaw in Footloose, Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast, Selsdon in Noises Off, Herr Schultz in Cabaret, and George Wilson in Gatsby: An American Musical. Upon returning to Chicago, Jace was cast as Steve/Peter Understudy in Beverly Arts Center’s production of The Christmas Schooner (2022), which was an incredible experience.
While he has had an amazing run thus far, 2023 was the year that pushed Jace’s career even further. He had successful performances in Red Hour Cabaret in February and 100 Years of Disney in July, on top of releasing his highly anticipated album, Development in March, which shows his abilities as a songwriter. In August, he debuted a new song, “New Life”, from his upcoming album, Baptism. It was this song that helped him win the Denise Tomasello Scholarship in the 2023 Emerging Artists Showcase, which he is incredibly thankful for.
In his debut show, Acceptance, Jace paints a unique picture with a mix of Pop/Jazz songs, Musical Theatre pieces, and original works. He will be joined by Jeff English on piano, Kevin Schulz on bass, and Steve Thompson on drums.

VETERAN CHICAGO SINGER-SONGWRITER MIKE FELTEN RELEASES SIXTH STUDIO ALBUM, FAST MIKEY BLUE EYES, ON LANDFILL RECORDS
CD DEFINED BY DISTINCTIVE ORIGINALS WITH EVOCATIVE WINDY CITY SPIN
He’s been accused of trafficking in “Outsider Americana.” Perhaps a better handle for Mike Felten’s highly distinctive musical approach would be “Chicagoana.” The Windy City is deeply and inexorably ingrained in the veteran singer-songwriter’s mesmerizing musical odes, right down to the names of streets that he’s wandered down and the shady characters haunting them in decades past. Mike knows where all the bones are buried and he’s not shy about letting us in on the secrets, blending folk, blues, and rock influences to spread the news.

About:
On April 4, the collaboration between Chicago Composers’ Consortium and the international ensemble Duo Cortona comes to fruition with the Chicago debut of Duo Cortona, the husband and wife team of violinist Ari Streisfeld (founding member, Jack Quartet) and mezzo-soprano Rachel Calloway ("...the highlight of the concert”, New York Times).
Come join us for a program of new music for voice and violin by composers Lawrence Axelrod, Kathleen Ginther, Eric Moe, Laura Schwendinger and Annika K. Socolofsky.
Duo Cortona is a contemporary music ensemble dedicated to the creation of works for its unique instrumentation: mezzo-soprano and violin, and to exploring new sounds and possibilities for its intimate, expressive, and vital combination. Duo Cortona works to establish a new and thus far unexplored repertoire, pursuing the endless possibilities of this union, and creating opportunities for both established and emerging composers through commissions, competitions, educational workshops, university residencies, and major concert performances.
Duo Cortona was founded at the Cortona Sessions for New Music by Ari Streisfeld and Rachel Calloway. Recent and upcoming performances include the Southern Exposure Series for New Music, East Carolina New Music Initiative, University of Wisconsin, College of Charleston, New Music New College, the Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music, Resonant Bodies Festival, The Stone, the SONiC Festival, New Music on the Point, and Contemporary Undercurrent of Song Project (Princeton).
Chicago Composers’ Consortium (C3) promotes the creation and performance of new music with a primary focus on composers and musicians from the Chicago area and the Midwest. As a presenter of contemporary music in Chicago for over thirty years, C3 has consistently found new ways to introduce audiences to what is new and exciting in music and to engage, educate and involve the community in an ongoing relationship of musical exploration.
What sets C3 apart from other contemporary music organizations is a history of innovative composer-generated collaborative projects and a commitment to adventurous programming, including the presentation of works composers deserving of a larger audience.

About the show:
In the first of many personal stories around the inception of Lester Jay into the world of music we begin at the beginning.
Lester Jay is a first generation midwestern child of Lester Jenkins, Sr and JoWanna Jenkins. The story of how Al Green and his catalogue of music became a staple in the Lester Jay sound starts with his mother. Al Green is a native of the same town Lester’s mother is from, Forrest City, Arkansas.
As a child, Lester and his family would travel from Chicago to Forrest City a few times a year to visit family, and those 9-hour car rides were full of Motown, R&B, blues and gospel hits. Al Green seemed to have possessed all those genres in one and is considered a hometown hero of his mother and the town of Forrest City, Arkansas. Al Greens catalogue was engrained in Lester Jay’s musical DNA like the ABC’s are to a child.
In the production of “From Forrest City with Love & Happiness” Lester hopes to give you the experience of taking a drive from Chicago, Illinois to the southern plains of Forrest City, Arkansas full of timeless music from Al Green’s illustrious musical discography from his early works of the 70’s to the 90’s.

Showtime: 3PM
Tickets: Pay What You Can (Options: $10-$50)
About:
CHAI Collaborative Ensemble (CCE) concludes their 2023-24 Season with works that offer brief windows into diverse musical perspectives of four distinctive composers of classical music from the 20th and 21st centuries. Jenni Brandon's Sea Quartet is a colorful tribute to the beauty of the ocean and all the creatures and ecosystems that dwell within it. It was commissioned by the L.A. Musical Salon as part of my composer residency with the Vientos Trio from 2008-2009, and was inspired by her living near the Pacific Ocean. Heitor Villa-Lobos' Trio for Oboe, Clarinet, and Bassoon offers a fusion between various forms of traditional Brazilian rhythms and music and the classical wind trio. Villa-Lobos gravitated towards the raw sounds of wind instruments, and indulged in a variety harmonic clashes, rhythmic dexterity, and dynamic extremes in this work. Gernot Wolfgang's Windows is a pensive yet flowing piece for clarinet, bassoon and piano. In the composer's words, "the main theme of this 12 minute composition in one movement is presented in a variety of musical environments throughout the piece. In an allegorical sense, it is as if the listener was walking down a hallway lined with windows, periodically catching a view of the exterior. The outside world always stays the same, but the perspective of the viewer/listener changes from window to window... a chain of parallax views." Valerie Coleman's Trio Toccata was written in the summer of 2014, and equally showcases the virtuosity of the oboe, bassoon, and piano. In Coleman's words, it is "a lyrical, high paced romp that is heavily jazz influenced."
Featuring:
Andrew Marlin, bassoon
Marianne Parker, piano
Laura Perkett, oboe
Daniel Williams, clarinet
Tickets are Pay-What-You-Can, and are $10-50.
CCE's 2023-24 Season is sponsored in part by the Illinois Arts Council Agency, the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, and the Illinois Creative Recovery Grant Program (B2B Arts). The ensemble also gratefully acknowledges the support from their wonderful community of generous individual donors over the years.

About Cult like:
Cult like is brand new to the music scene, however, each of the band members is not. Each playing in different projects over the years, the guys eventually came together just before the release of the EP, “Pretty Shore”. The band blends together poppy and alternative elements, but also makes whatever they feel like given everyone in the band has a different musical background. The band consists of Brice Lanham (Drums), Mission Marcis (Bass), and Victor Roa (Guitar/Vocals).

About:
My Fair Audrey Hepburn
When you think of Audrey Hepburn, you think of timeless beauty. But Audrey was so much more than a pretty face and a killer clavicle. From WWII refugee to Academy Award winner, from UNICEF beneficiary to UNICEF ambassador, Audrey led a remarkable and exemplary life. Actress, fashion icon, wife, mother, and tireless humanitarian, Audrey is as much beloved today as she was half a century ago. Celebrate Audrey’s 95th birthday in style! Join acclaimed Chicago cabaret artist, Hilary Ann Feldman (“… a tour de force of cabaret, opera, and jazz.” ~Chicago Tribune), along with pianist Beckie Menzie, for her touching, funny, and enlightening tribute to this extraordinary woman.
Hilary Ann Feldman
Called a "tour de force of cabaret, opera, and jazz" by the Chicago Tribune, Hilary Ann Feldman has appeared across the country and in London, England, celebrating music of the Great American Songbook past and present, while paying tribute to some of entertainment's most beloved icons.
Hilary has a reputation for clever storytelling through song, unique subject matter, and an exquisite, versatile singing voice. She is known not only for her unique take on traditional cabaret fare, but also for pushing the boundaries of what that fare can be.
The remarkable success of her tribute to the beloved Audrey Hepburn proved that music could be used to pay tribute to a non-musical icon.
"... a classy musical tribute to Audrey Hepburn. While offering a cabaret show based on a performer known more as an actress than singer might be tricky, Feldman makes it all fly... a lovely vocalist... the right balance of musicality, story, and heart."
~ Cabaret Scenes Magazine
Hilary followed up that triumph with her a tribute to funny woman Carol Burnett, which has been playing to sold out houses since it opened in May 2015 and prompted a couple of phone calls from Carol Burnett herself!
"I absolutely loved the show! I've told a few people this in my life, and now I'm telling you: You are the whole package!"
~ Carol Burnett, TV Legend & Broadway Star
Expertly weaving together her wealth of knowledge on her chosen subject with just the right music to tell the story, Hilary creates clever and compelling performances that surprise and delight audiences.
Hilary’s debut CD, Taking Flight, was named "Cabaret/Folk CD of the Year" by NY Cabaret Hotline. She is also a well-respected vocal and performance coach and the founder of Acts Of Kindness Cabaret, an organization that has raised nearly half a million dollars for local charities through cabaret performance. www.HilaryAnnFeldman.com www.AOKCabaret.org

About:
A night of transportive neoclassical soundscapes by two visionary composers.
Gregory Allison creates with a single violin a sound that travels across great landscapes. He has toured the world with violin in hand and is endlessly inspired by the instrument’s journey around the globe, especially it’s use in South Indian Classical music. His live performance blends the Indian Classical melodic improvisation with his classical sensibility as a film composer, offering the listener a sonic journey through time and space.
He will be performing his 2021 debut album Portal in its entirety, along with new compositions for amplified violin and string quartet.
Gregory recently moved back to Portland after 5 years living in LA, where he started the record label and recording studio Holy Volcano. He has released four albums on the label: one solo, two with collaborator Tristan de Liege, and as producer for the debut album from songwriter Ella Luna. He is currently collaborating with electronic composers to create ReWorked versions of the music from his debut solo record Portal.
Slow Meadow is Houston multi-instrumentalist Matt Kidd. Kidd's releases as Slow Meadow have been celebrated by the New York Observer, NPR's Stephen Thompson, Echoes' John Diliberto, and who sampled Lachrymosia for the platinum-selling song on his debut album, FREE 6LACK. In 2022, Kidd provided the original soundtrack to the film, "My Mind & Me".
Two years following 2017’s Costero, Slow Meadow returned with its third full-length album Happy Occident, a collection of textured ambient melodies. Fueled by the anxiety derivative of modern life and the frenetic and often uncertain state of these ever-changing times, Happy Occident provides music for reflection. A soundtrack to life’s contemplative moments, and an experience akin to mindfulness meditation.
In 2021, Slow Meadow is back with Upstream Dream, its first wholly new music since 2020’s By the Ash Tree, which bookends a period of creative output that introduced Kidd’s vision of calming and meditative ambient music.
With a foundation of piano, string orchestration, and an ever-evolving electronic palette, Slow Meadow has traversed the borders of neoclassical and minimalist electronics with Upstream Dream, delivering a deeply personal and transportive experience that speaks directly to the ebbs and flows and mundanity and marvels of life. With sublime patience, understated
elegance, and surreal atmosphere, Slow Meadow savors the present, remembers the past, and imagines what could be.

About:
Jace McCloy is a professional Baritone singer-songwriter from Lansing, Michigan. He is a 2015 alumni of Lansing Catholic High School, and he graduated in 2020 from Central Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science in Music (Primary Instrument: Voice).
His time at CMU was nothing short of impressive. He participated in Chamber Singers, was an invited soloist at university-sponsored events, and even starred in university operas and musicals! His most notable roles consist of The Mikado in The Mikado (2018), Bishop/Ensemble in Shrek: The Musical (2018), Judge Turpin in Sweeney Todd (2019), Henry Ford in Ragtime (2019), and Don Pedro in Beatrice & Benedict (2020). During the summer of 2019, Jace was also cast in the summer stock season for Dunes Summer Theatre in Michigan City, Indiana. Here, he had the pleasure of playing Luther Billis in South Pacific and Lester/Billy Bob Blood in Hansel and Gretel Meet the Swamp Witch.
After graduating, Jace moved to Chicago for three years, where he got his start with Opera Inter Alia and Chicago Cabaret Professionals. He has worked with the likes of Susan Arjmand, Stewart Thompson, Frieda Lee, Anne & Mark Burnell, Carla Gordon, Hilary Feldman, and many others. Everyone mentioned played a part in his successful performances, including his CCP debut in Passing the Torch in April, 2022! Jace also had the pleasure of working with the incredible Woodstock Playhouse Cast of 2022 in Woodstock, New York! During this summer stock season, he played Reverend Shaw in Footloose, Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast, Selsdon in Noises Off, Herr Schultz in Cabaret, and George Wilson in Gatsby: An American Musical. Upon returning to Chicago, Jace was cast as Steve/Peter Understudy in Beverly Arts Center’s production of The Christmas Schooner (2022), which was an incredible experience.
While he has had an amazing run thus far, 2023 was the year that pushed Jace’s career even further. He had successful performances in Red Hour Cabaret in February and 100 Years of Disney in July, on top of releasing his highly anticipated album, Development in March, which shows his abilities as a songwriter. In August, he debuted a new song, “New Life”, from his upcoming album, Baptism. It was this song that helped him win the Denise Tomasello Scholarship in the 2023 Emerging Artists Showcase, which he is incredibly thankful for.
In his debut show, Acceptance, Jace paints a unique picture with a mix of Pop/Jazz songs, Musical Theatre pieces, and original works. He will be joined by Jeff English on piano, Kevin Schulz on bass, and Steve Thompson on drums.
