This week’s concert is by Lannie Garrett in Swing Sets: Benny, Basie, & Beyond.
Ms. Garrett has that rare combination of popular and critical appeal. In addition to being named Favorite Female Vocalist several years in a row by The Denver Post readers, she garnered top spot as favorite singer with the readers of 5280 Magazine and the gay community’s, OutFront magazine. She has been reviewed glowingly in national press from Gentleman’s Quarterly to Genre Magazine.
This redhead changes her feathers easily, from the glamorous, sequined chanteuse fronting her 10 piece big band, “Any Swing Goes,” to her hilarious, country spoof, The Patsy DeCline Show, her stage presence, humor and ability to connect with her audience always shines through.
Enjoy some of Denver’s finest food truck fare at affordable prices, including:
– Maui Shaved Ice
– Pizza
– Burgers
– Vegetarian
– Cupcakes
– Barbecue
– Indian/Tai Food
– Smoothies & Iced Coffee
– Gyros
