JAZZ SUPPER CLUB SERIES | Leigh Holman - “Birds do it”

They say birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it. But what about the Leigh Holman Quintet? An evening of the Great American Songbook, with a twist of humor and a splash of cocktail culture.

 Following her sold out December performance of "Gershwin by Moonlight," vocalist Leigh Holman returns to Full Cycle Café & Bar with a change of pace: 'Birds Do It,' a sultry and sassy take on the Great American Songbook. Expect classic standards, "should-be-included" tunes, and a splash of cocktail culture that'll have you ordering another round.

The Leigh Holman all-star Quintet will be taking you through American music, from the iconic melodies of the "daddy" of the Great American Songbook to hidden gems that leave you shaken and stirred. Prepare for an evening of discovery, where the timeless elegance of the standards blends with a playful, modern vibe.
