TICKETS + INFORMATION

This isn’t so much a career summation for veteran avant-vocalist Shelley Hersch as a statement of where she is now, in the fullness of her experience. Improvisations, text settings (in this case I mean texts in the IM sense), dedicated visuals, all-star accompanists (at least stars on The List), a good dose of humor: what makes Hirsch Hirsch.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, nice enough bistro at Bacchus. Streaming at home, have a Hunter’s Cocktail: pour 1-1/2 oz. Whiskey (your choice) and 1/2 oz. cherry brandy into an Old Fashioned glass over ice. Garnish with a cocktail cherry.
