FEATURING AVERY SOMMERS
“Avery Sommers does not inhabit the role of blues legend Bessie Smith in The Devil’s Music. She becomes Bessie Smith. She IS Bessie Smith.  As the sold-out house at the opening night can tell you, the meat of what’s on stage is superb.”
-Florida Theater on Stage

Henry Butler
Sat. May 7, 8pm (JAZZ/BLUES)

The award-winning New Orleans piano legend leads audiences through the blues, with his classically trained voice and his hands that boogie that keyboard like no one else’s.  Butler is a rich amalgam of jazz, Caribbean, classical, pop, blues, and R&B, and his music is as eclectic as that of his New Orleans birthplace.
