Not yet 22, Kelly has established herself as a legitimate presence on the contemporary jazz scene. Kelly’s saxophone skills recall the fitful style of Wayne Shorter while her vocal melodies put in her league with more pop-oriented artists such as Norah Jones. The Berklee-educated musician has already gigged with the likes of Wynton Marsalis, Harry Connick Jr., and mentor Lee Konitz. Catch this rising star while you can.

The New York Times calls American Idiot “thrilling and emotionally charged, as moving as anything on Broadway!” Based on Green Day’s groundbreaking rock opera of the same name, this daring new musical tells the story of three lifelong friends forced to choose between their dreams and the safety of suburbia, and features the smash hits “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” “Holiday,” and “21 Guns.”
