What do you get when you combine an accomplished jazz pianist from Chicago, his soulful band, and an A-list singer from the South? Magic!

James Austin Jr Trio, with special guest Dermel Warren, perform “Songs in the Key of Wonder”. Dermel joins this live performance to compliment James’ tasteful instrumental arrangements showcasing select classics by Stevie Wonder.

The combination of the Trio’s magic blended with Warren’s special touch is sure to dazzle the audience with a range of inspired emotions.

She has performed with Sergio Davis, the late Mel Waiters, and Donald Lawrence. She performs regularly with her husband, jazz drummer Jeremy Warren, and several other top musicians.
