With a voice that exudes warmth and sophistication, dazzling jazz vocalist Jane Monheit is renowned for her innovative interpretations of Great American Songbook standards, from ballads to blues. Catapulted to stardom at age 20 for her immense musical talent, Jane has spent the last two decades touring the globe, collaborating with jazz luminaries and legends, and appearing in guest performances on Late Night with David Letterman and Conan O’Brien, Good Morning America, The Tonight Show and more.

Amanda Pascali
Singer-songwriter Amanda Pascali will perform at the Indigo Room on Saturday, March 21 at 8 p.m.
As the rising voice of America’s most ethnically diverse generation of young people, singer-songwriter Amanda Pascali writes music that speaks to the experience of growing up as a first-generation American. After her songs went viral on social media, she amassed hundreds of thousands of fans around the globe. Now, her long-awaited new record, Roses and Basil (a collection of Sicilian-English translations and original music produced by Robert Ellis), has been praised by NPR, the Bluegrass Situation, and numerous international outlets. Her music, described as “immigrant American folk,” delivers a powerful narrative on being “too foreign for here, too foreign for home, and never enough for both,” as Pascali puts it.
Tickets are $35 general admission, café table seating.
