Late Show - 10PM Lab - Women In Jazz Series featuring: Holly Resnick with The George Colligan Trio - $20 - 21+ Show

Experience an unforgettable evening of music and community with Holly Resnick, jazz vocalist known for her personal and honest interpretations of the Great American Songbook, and world-class jazz pianist, George Colligan. Colligan's masterful touch brings something new to songs you've heard again and again. Every time he performs these beloved songs, he does something new, something brilliant, and reimagines every song like it's the first you've ever heard it. The two have developed a friendship and camaraderie over the years, so not only is their music memorable, their lighthearted, playful banter between songs adds a personally entertaining dimension to the show. Their onstage presence is both inviting and transformative, and leaves audiences feeling musically fulfilled and deeply moved. The duo will be supported and uplifted that evening by two of their favorite band mates, Eric Gruber on bass and Michael Raynor on drums. This quartet loves to perform together and you can't help but feel like you are part of the music they create together.
