July 26 – Starr Fisher Quartet. Jazz Hall favorite for years, Ms. Fisher will vocally knock your socks off and her jamming band is ready to blow the roof off the Depot.
August 9 – Janet Rutland. You cannot go wrong with Janet Rutland – from her hit show Patsy Cline to the Hollywood Film Hits, Ms. Rutland is a stunning vocalist and top notch professional who brings a fresh approach to the Great American Song Book.
August 16 – Brenda Johnson Trio. The voice is sensational. The band is sensational. The evening will be sensational too. That?s what you get with Ms. Johnson?s musical treatment with songs made popular by jazz divas Nina Simone, Dinah Washington and Nancy Wilson.
August 23 – Amy Cottingham and Friends. An amazing classical pianist who plays jazz and sings as well. Count on Ms. Cottingham to present an evening to remember.
August 30 – Annie Ellicott Trio. Scatting her way through a library of jazz standards, Ms. Ellicott has become one of the darlings of the Tulsa music scene in recent years.
