Looking for an entertaining weekend? Jazz Arts Group will feature Bria Skonberg's show, Modern Romance, at the Southern Theatre Feb. 20-22.
Skonberg first performed for the Jazz Arts Group in 2014 at the Lincoln Theatre as a rising star. Just six years later, she is already world-renowned for her silky voice and mean trumpet skills. She has performed from Madison Square Garden to the Apollo Theater with the likes of U2 and Destiny’s Child’s Michelle Williams.
With six albums under her belt, Skonberg’s songs have over 10 million streams on Spotify and counting. Critics from Vanity Fair to The New York Times have acclaimed her as a young jazz superstar. She received the 2017 Juno Winner Vocal Jazz Album of the Year with another Juno nomination in 2018.
Skonberg will also have a sit-down Q&A session on Feb. 22 at 2 p.m. Here at the Jazz Academy, she will talk about her experiences as a millennial jazz sensation. This event is actually free, so don’t miss this wonderful opportunity.
