About this event

Francine Reed-vocals, Joel Robin-piano, Stan Sorenson-guitar, Andy Gonzales-bass, Dowell Davis-drums If you’ve experienced Francine before, then you know it’s gonna be a party! If this will be your first time, be prepared for a thrilling afternoon with the outrageous Francine Reed and her notorious accomplices! From the mid-1970s through the early 90s, Francine reigned as the most popular jazz and blues vocalist in the Valley. In fact, she was still winning New Times/Best of Phoenix awards after she moved to Atlanta! Francine appeared with her bands Jazz Alive and Fever at venues such as The Boojum Tree, Chuy’s and Chuy’s Next Door/The Night Club, Churchill’s Pub and Bombay Bicycle Club, plus numerous festivals and concert halls. She has been part of Lyle Lovett’s Large Band since the mid 80’s, appeared on The Tonight Show, and appeared for many seasons in Seattle’s high-energy dinner-theatre cabaret, Teatro ZinZanni. What an amazingly diverse and exciting career! 1/2 Price Student tickets are available in the Tables & Banquettes sections. Use code “student” at checkout, (25 & Under w/ valid ID)
