Jennifer bio:
Local Annapolis singer-songwriter, Jennifer Schimpf is an energetic force to be reckoned with. The release of her EP “Static in the Attic” in the early winter of 2022 was accompanied by a sold out release show. She has since been performing regularly around the Annapolis area and continues to write and promote new music. Songwriting came naturally and early, with her first full piano composition “The Storm’, being written and performed publicly at the age of 13. From emotionally powered piano ballads to light and energetic guitar songs, Jennifer’s sound is dynamic yet consistent. With a bluesy-indie flair, her music is written and designed for direct connectivity with her audience. Empathetic, charming and honest, she strives to share her inner world with those around her. Thriving in both a solo or full band performance, she will force you to feel things you have never felt before and encourage you to learn and grow from the life lessons she has to share.
Danah bio: Danah Denice is a 26 year-old singer-songwriter from Stevensville, MD. With a classical background in piano and a folk background in guitar, she’s been compared to artists such as Carole King, Fiona Apple, and Joni Mitchell. Her raw and powerful performances—coupled with her pensive, confessional-style lyricism—have built her a loyal following in the greater Annapolis, Eastern Shore, and Baltimore areas.

The Shook/Russo 4tet has been performing together since 2005 in the mid-Atlantic region. Their focus has always been to compose and perform their own original music within the jazz idiom, honoring the masters by carrying on the tradition. Be it through blues, swing, bebop, soul jazz, or more modern funk and groove, the group has developed an incredible and unique sound by merging the diverse backgrounds of each of these fine musicians into one voice. The result is a whirlwind of grooves, melodies, and diverse textures that are a true delight to hear. Collectively, the members of the Shook/Russo 5tet have performed extensively throughout the United States, as well as performed in Canada, Mexico, Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean and at festivals such as the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, the Ottawa Jazz Festival, the Stan Getz Jazz Festival, the East Coast Jazz Festival, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, and the Telluride Jazz Festival, the Wall Street Jazz Festival and the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival to name a few.

Daniela Soledade & Nate Najar
2023-07-23 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Halifax)
SPACE IS LIMITED SO PLEASE CALL FOR RESERVATIONS 410-626-9796!
About Daniela Soledade:
Daniela Soledade may initially seem like a fresh name in Brazilian music, but the vocalist’s impact immediately strikes a chord as encountered on her debut album, A Moment of You (Blue Line Music Records, 2019). A carefully curated set of Bossa Nova gems (while dodging the most obvious choices), Brazilian-ized standards and original songs, created in partnership with producer/guitarist Nate Najar, the album frames the luminous tone and mature interpretive powers of the singer-singing in both English and Portuguese. A legacy-related back story lends added depth to Soledade’s unfolding musical saga—she belongs to a sparkling lineage of great Brazilian artists, ranging from her grandfather Paulo—collaborator with Antonio Carlos Jobim, Vinicius De Moraes, Baden Powell and other Brazilian legends—and her father Paulinho, who has worked as producer and partner with Ivan Lins and Gilberto Gil.
About Nate Najar:
Guitarist Charlie Byrd came into international prominence with his introduction of Bossa Nova into the USA in the 1960s. Nate Najar was attracted to Byrd’s playing whilst taking guitar lessons at school in Washington D.C. On this new CD Najar plays the classical guitar originally owned and played by Charlie Byrd on many of his recordings.
On a well-chosen mixture of popular standards and originals Najar’s playing is impeccable. He uses his very impressive technique and musicality on every track to great effort. Overall this is one of the most enjoyable music performances I have heard for a long time. All the tracks are excellent, with Najar supported at the highest level by Cecil, Allen , da Fonseca and Redd. I was fortunate to have known Charlie Byrd for many years and I know he would have been delighted and thrilled by Najar’s performance on this CD. Beautifully recorded, this CD release follows the excellent CD, ‘Blues for Night People. The Nate Najar Trio remembers Charlie Byrd’, by the same trio released around two years ago.
Duke Ellington famously said there are only two types of music – ‘Good’ and ‘Bad’. The music on this recording is very ‘Good’ and I am sure classical guitarists can learn a lot from Najar’s performance and interpretation.
