Award-winning jazz powerhouse Louise Balkwill is back at Century Club, and this time, she’s bringing the holiday spirit with a show that’s as bold as a shot of bourbon on a cold winter night. Think burning, vocalese-infused bebop mixed with sultry blues that swing hard enough to knock the tinsel off the tree.
Louise channels the raw energy of jazz greats like Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Anita O’Day, delivering every note with the kind of gutsy authenticity you can’t fake. Expect soaring scat riffs, bebop-era grit, and a repertoire that pays homage to the legends while carving her own trail through the holiday canon.
Oh, and the Christmas carols? She’s not just singing them — she’s throwing down the gauntlet. Members, grab your mulled wine, loosen your tie, and belt out a few verses. This is jazz at its finest — soulful, fearless, and utterly alive.
This night is open to Century members and up to four guests.
