Samirah Evans Quintet CD Release Performance

Jazz and blues singer Samirah Evans will perform two shows at the Hooker-Dunham Theater, 139 Main St. in Brattleboro on Friday, April 24 to support the release of her new CD, My Little Bodhisattva. She will be supported by a quintet consisting of Miro Sprague on piano, Michael Zsoldos on saxophone, Jason Ennis on guitar, Michael O' Brian on bass, and Conor Meehan on drums.

My Little Bodhisattva will be available for purchase at the Hooker-Dunham Theater the evening of the performance. It is also available at cdbaby.com and two music stores in Brattleboro: Turn it Up and In the Moment and at Louisiana Music Factory in New Orleans. In a February review, Jon Potter of the Brattleboro Reformer said: My Little Bodhisattva courageously escorts familiar standards from the pop and jazz idioms to places they have never been before, while retaining a respectful spirit.

In New Orleans, a city known worldwide for its music, Samirah was one of its most popular jazz & blues vocalists. She first performed at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in 1990 and became a regular fixture as either a leader or featured vocalist for fourteen consecutive years. She has toured Europe, Asia, and both North and South America as a headliner, and shared stages with B.B. King, James Brown, and Irma Thomas, among others. Her first CD, Give Me A Moment, was ranked as the years fifth best by the New Orleans Times-Picayune in 2002.

Evans moved with her husband to his native town Brattleboro in 2006 after hurricane Katrina destroyed their home and made her area debut performance with the Vermont Jazz Center Big Band. She can be heard every weekend at Mount Snows Harrimans Restaurant throughout the ski season and performs at many popular theaters, supper clubs and nightspots throughout the New England region.
