Plaza Jazz: Jessica Curran

Thursday, July 86:00—8:00 PMFront PlazaBeebe Library345 Main Street, Wakefield, MA, 01880

Fan favorite Plaza Jazz returns this summer! Every Thursday evening, enjoy live music and each others' company on the Main Street Plaza. Different musicians every week play in a variety of musical styles.

This week we welcome Jazz singer and songwriter Jessica Curran. Jessica is an internationally-recognized vocalist and songwriter based in Boston, MA. Winner of the 2018 John Lennon Songwriting Contest in Jazz, Jessica soaks in stories and soundscapes from the countries she's visited and connects the world through her songwriting and colorful arrangements. Her lyrical soul swims in a glass of Joni Mitchell's holy wine, and her compositions throb with the heartbeat of tropical drums and the harmonic soundscape of Gretchen Parlato.

Jessica has performed with notable musicians such as Bobby McFerrin and Ben Folds, Jazz Manouche giants such as Samson Schmitt, Gustav Lundgren, Grammy-winner, Alegre Correa, Francoise Muleka, and Marissol Mwaba. She has headlined with various bands and orchestras at Stockholm Jazz Festival, Various Django Festivals, and New Sound Made, Provincetown Jazz Festival, and Florianopolis’s Jazz series.
