Presented by Healdsburg Jazz LEAD FESTIVAL SPONSOR Overshine Wine. Thank you!
Join us for an afternoon at Overshine Wine.
A band of stellar musicians comes together to celebrate the music of singer and pianist Charles Brown, whose forties and fifties Top Ten Billboard hits like “Driftin’ Blues” and “Merry Christmas Baby” earned him a place in both the Blues and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame and influenced performers like Ray Charles and Sam Cooke.
This concert takes place outdoors, in theater-style seating, under a canopy, with breathtaking views of the Dry Creek Valley.
About Overshine Wine
Overshine Wine was founded by David Drummond with Sam Bilbro and Thomas DeBiase by his side. David’s California roots and love for wine, combined with his brother’s multiple years of playing at the Healdsburg Jazz Fest brought David to Healdsburg. Upon meeting Sam and Thomas, David tasted wines that inspired his curiosity for what wines could be like here —where the music was turned up, and the feeling was joyous and welcoming. He saw a future for wine that could do and be more. The friendship was instant and together they began to dream up what is now Overshine.
Artist Talk: Michela Lerman, Rising Star Artist in Residence
4 – 5:30 pm | FREE
St. Paul’s Church | 209 Matheson | Healdsburg
Michela Marino Lerman draws on her years of experience as a dancing musician to explore the deep connection between tap dance and jazz. Through historical context, archival video clips, and personal storytelling, she shares her artistic journey and reflects on the lineage and legacy of the art form—highlighting tap as a living, evolving expression of rhythm, culture, and community. She will discuss the legacy of tap and jazz through the music of John Coltrane and others, and draw from her program, “Tapping Into Coltrane: Giant Steps.”
Healdsburg Jazz Artistic Director Marcus Shelby will be moderating this lively discussion.
Lavay Smith and her Red Hot Skillet Lickers
6 – 8 pm | FREE
Healdsburg Plaza | Corner of Healdsburg Ave and Matheson
Formed in 1986 and fronted by the sultry Lavay Smith, an alluring singer whose bluesy, brassy style draws on Dinah Washington and Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday and Little Esther Phillips, the quintet is known worldwide for tasty arrangements of tunes from the 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s, as well as their finely crafted original compositions. This performance is a rare opportunity to see Lavay and her Red Hot Skillet Lickers outdoors in the beautiful Healdsburg Plaza. Performing with Lavay and her band is guest artist, tap dancer, and Healdsburg Jazz Rising Artist in Residence Michela Marino Lerman.
In partnership with the City of Healdsburg Community Services.
