Wed | Sep 23 Set 7pm $85 Dinner & Show RESERVE TABLE About the Artist Nicole Zuraitis is a 2X GRAMMY® winning and 6X GRAMMY-nominated jazz singer-songwriter, producer, pianist, arranger, New York-based bandleader and winner of the prestigious American Traditions Vocal Competition Gold Medal. With a “heart as big as her remarkable voice,” (Jazz Police), Nicole has positioned herself as one of the top artists and “prolific songwriters” (Broadway World) to watch in jazz and beyond, or as she likes to call it, The Modern Songbook.
