Two Cleveland jazz artists, celebrated jazz singer, Vanessa Rubin and multi-instrumentalist, composer, and arranger, Brad Wagner are teaming for a special swinging birthday bash! “The idea of celebrating our birthdays together was a no-brainer. Brad is one of the best!”, Rubin said. These two Pisces have a lot in common. Besides hailing from the same city, they also share a passion for jazz and an unwavering dedication to achieve the highest level of creative expression possible in their performances. Whether an original composition or a re-imagined standard, Rubin and Wagner meet at the apex of excellence when it comes to what they love – performing jazz and sharing the bandstand with top notch musicians. Wagner has assembled a great line up for a fun and an insatiably swinging evening of big band performance. So come join the party at The Bop Stop! It's where jazz lives, and every seat is a good one. See you there!

Tickets for tonight are $30 each (plus a $2 processing fee). This show will not be live-streamed.
