Catch a rising jazz star in Sacramento on Wednesday, June 17th!

Ava Lemert is a jazz star on her way up and you'll have a chance to catch her headlining a show at Harlow's nightclub in downtown Sacramento on the evening of Wednesday, June 17th. This show begins at 8:00 p.m.

Ava is a singer, saxophonist - both tenor and alto - and song writer who offers the listener a lot of variety in her work. You might find her covering Alicia Keyes' "If I Ain't Got You," or singing classics like "Summertime" or "Over the Rainbow," or her jazz-rock-soul renditions of "Just One Look" and "More Today Than Yesterday."

It looks like a fun time will be had by all, and I'm hoping that Ava will find it in her Beatles-loving heart to throw in a jazzed up cover of a tune by Those Guys. "All My Loving" anyone?
