Kick off the summer right with BlueStreet’s last show of the year: Jazzy Grooves: Rhythmic Riffs & Soulful Swings

BlueStreet Voices, directed by Dave Barduhn, is a one-on-a-mic, vocal jazz ensemble of talented singers that perform fun, creative vocal jazz arrangements in a variety of styles – swing, blues, be-bop, Latin, ballads, and gospel to name a few. They blend their voices to create rich harmonies up to 8 voicings. The group is backed by a 4-part rhythm section and led by renowned jazz pianist Nick Moore and is joined by special guest saxophonist Brent Jensen.

"There is a rich legacy of music that originates from both the trials and triumphs of the African-American experience, a legacy that flows like a river through generations and waters the world with songs of hope for the present times and for the future".

This is how Victory Boyd, a 27-year-old soul and folk artist who hails originally from Detroit Michigan, describes not only the sound that she carries but also the responsibility of what she carries as an artist, entrepreneur, and advocate. After being personally signed by Jay-Z in 2016, Victory released her debut EP entitled "It's a New Dawn" featuring her soul stirring rendition of Nina Simone's classic "Feeling Good," among other songs including original songs "Believe In Love," "Lessons From My Father," and "Cheap Love." The entire project was released globally and premiered in over 8,000 Starbucks locations worldwide for over a year and positioned Victory to be highly anticipated in 2018 when her debut album and "The Broken Instrument" was released. Victory's talent as a singer-songwriter and performer quickly became popular in the music industry as she continued to demonstrate rare capabilities of captivating audiences with her classic sultry voice, thought-provoking lyrics, and unconventional guitar skills.
