Lucia Newell’s CD Release: With Friends Like These…
Leo Sidran writes, “Lucia Newell is the definition of timeless. She writes songs that make you wonder, how is it possible nobody wrote this before? Music that is, at turns, hip, romantic, poetic, whimsical, joyous, and plaintive – managing to feel fresh while also fitting into any classic collection.”
Lucia’s CD Release of “With Friends Like These…” will showcase her singing those songs played live by top local veteran jazz musicians. Come relax and enjoy the music and great Crooners’ fare in the fabulous Dunsmore Room.
