Vocal Gumbo Episode 12, Celebrating Birdland—Bird Is the Word, streams on Saturday, February 27 at 8 PM ET and will be available on demand for 24 hours. This program features Veronica Swift, Karrin Allyson, The Manhattan Transfer, New York Voices, Ann Hampton Callaway and more.
Joining forces with Gianni Valenti and Jim Caruso to celebrate Birdland—one of New York City’s most iconic venues—Virtual Gumbo will donate ten percent of ticket sales to Birdland’s GoFundMe campaign. The campaign has been set up to ensure the “Jazz Corner of the World” survives this pandemic and continues to provide a home for world-class musicians and music lovers for years to come.
Since its inception in March 2020, Vocal Gumbo, the brainchild of Janis Siegel (The Manhattan Transfer) and Lauren Kinhan (New York Voices), has been a monthly music festival where the music community comes together (virtually) to inspire and entertain. Siegel and Kinhan are producing one-of-a-kind musical collaborations and curating at-home performances, striving to keep the music happening, keep the bills paid and keep the hope alive that one day we’ll be venturing out to a clubs and experiencing the magic of live music together once again.
Tickets are $15. To purchase, please go to www.vocalgumbo.com
