Bassist/vocalist Katie Ernst is described by the Chicago Tribune as "a versatile young bassist who plays in far-flung bands and sings with uncommon delicacy and authenticity." Her solo set for double bass and voice includes Ernst’s original compositions and improvisations, as well as her take on American folk songs and jazz standards.
Heart Of Gold is one of Jacob Slocum’s three main groups. This performance will showcase both music written specifically for this group as well as music from Jacob’s recent album "Burning Glass.”
