Leslie Vincent (trio)
Friday, September 11th
Doors: 6 PM
Show: 7 PM
Leslie Vincent is a jazz vocalist, songwriter, and bandleader whose work blends jazz, swing, blues, pop, and singer-songwriter traditions with the theatrical instincts of a seasoned storyteller.
A warm alto with a sharp sense of narrative, Vincent writes and interprets songs through the lens of dating, marriage, anxiety, memory, and modern relationships.
One of the most recognizable jazz vocalists to emerge from Minneapolis, Vincent has earned praise from DownBeat, The Big Takeover, and Jazz88, which named her original “Icetown Blues” among its Best Jazz Songs of 2023.
Born into a military family and trained in musical theater, she spent years onstage before making jazz her primary focus.
“One of my missions onstage is helping people let go of the academics of it,” she says. “You don’t need to know why something is good to feel it.”
Vincent has performed on iconic stages around the country, including the Dakota in Minneapolis; the Mabel Tainter in Menomonie, Wisconsin; Noce in Des Moines; Café Coda in Madison; the Blue LLama Jazz Club in Ann Arbor; the Deer Head Inn in Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania; and Don’t Tell Mama in New York City.
Anana Kaye
Saturday, September 12th
Doors: 6 PM
Show: 7 PM
Anana Kaye is a Georgian-American singer-songwriter and multidisciplinary artist based in Nashville, Tennessee. Blending elements of Americana and alternative music, Anana’s songs are intimate yet expansive, driven by a husky, arresting vocal style and a deep attention to lyric. She works in close collaboration with Irakli Gabriel, her longtime creative partner and a Georgian-American musician and producer.
Growing up in a culture rich with deep musical traditions, Kaye was profoundly influenced by the storytelling nature of Georgian music. That influence continues to shape her work, particularly in the intricate nature of her arrangements, melodies, and vocal harmonies.
Anana released her debut EP Sentient in 2016, followed by her full-length album Detour in 2019. 2021 marked the release of Whispers And Sighs, a collaboration with Americana pioneer David Olney. The album was written and recorded by Irakli Gabriel, Anana Kaye, and David Olney in Nashville, Tennessee, and was met with widespread acclaim and was featured in publications worldwide.

Doors: 6 PM

Trevor McSpadden worked Central Texas dance halls before perfecting a sophisticated honky-tonk sound in the nightclubs of Chicago. Moving to San Diego in early 2014, Trevor quickly became a fixture on the California country circuit, fronting small combos of ace musicians up and down the coast. Now based out of Saint Paul, Minnesota, McSpadden plays alone and acoustic. He's unamplified and unencumbered; delicate, but not precious; rocking hard, while hardly rocking.
