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)
