The Century Room with Special Guest Chelsee Hicks
— —
The Century Room at Hotel Congress, 311 E. Congress Street, Tucson, AZ 85701
Join Us this Saturday, July 29, as Wholly Cats Swing Club returns to Tucson's nationally-renowned jazz club The Century Room at Hotel Congress.
Doors open at 8:30. Sets will be at 9:00 and 10:30 pm.
Our 9:00pm set will be with our Instrumental Trio of Marc Rosen on clarinet and sax, Tony Spear on guitar and Michael Grigsby on bass. This is the instrumental lineup that got us started as we feature a number of tunes recorded by the Great Benny Goodman Sextet, along with a few more modern selections. This is the first time we are bringing the trio to The Century Room and we know you will dig this “stripped down” version of the band.
You will definitely want to remain for the 10:30 set in which the wonderful Chelsee Hicks will be joining us for a number of vocal selections in the style of Peggy Lee, Diana Krall, and Billie Holiday. Chelsee is a regular contributor to local jazz and swing performers such as The Manhattan Dolls and Round Midnight and we are so very excited to have her joining us for this very special “Late-Night” engagement at The Century Room.
