KJ Denhert & The Evening News Celebrate the Holidays at WCT – Ossining, NY

On Friday, December 20, Westchester Collaborative Theater (WCT), located at 23 Water St. Ossining, NY, will host a special holiday performance with KJ Denhert and her band, The Evening News. The show will highlight selections from Denhert’s new album “The Evening News,” which features songs from the Great American Songbook, tunes that KJ knew from childhood, as well as some KJ originals.

Internationally-acclaimed singer-songwriter Denhert, named one of Jazz.com’s top female vocalists and four-time Independent Music Award nominee, will be accompanied by Adam Armstrong on acoustic bass, Nicki Denner on keys, Eric Halvorson on drums and guitarist Mark McIntyre.

WCT Executive Director Alan Lutwin says, “KJ is a magical talent who never fails to deliver a heartfelt performance. To have her perform at our venue again for the holidays is a total delight.” Denhert’s return engagement follows multiple sold-out appearances at WCT.

Reviewers have said that Denhert’s performance “will move you to laugh, to dance and even to cry.” They have praised her pathos, originality, and impeccable musicianship, calling her “one-of-a-kind and not to be missed.”

Denhert has appeared at scores of festivals, has had residencies at the 55 Bar in NYC, the Baz Bar in St. Barts, and recently completed several consecutive residencies at the prestigious Umbria Jazz Festival in Italy. She performs solo, duo and with her full band.
