Kate McGarry + Keith Ganz Quartet

Dinner and drinks service starts 1 hour before showtimes.

“McGarry's singular musical gift is her ability to broadcast emotional transparency with undeniable and artless force. The singer one hears time and again in McGarry's work is gracious and endearing. She is vulnerable yet unbroken. She is always rapturous. With her musical and life collaborator, the guitarist Keith Ganz, McGarry has been forging a signature approach to standard and new compositions that is immediately fresh and very personal."– Kurt Elling, JazzTimes

sensitive." She has toured and recorded with jazz illuminati Fred Hersch, Kurt Elling, Maria Schneider, John Hollenbeck, Billy Childs, Luciana Souza, Theo Bleckmann and TONY Award Winner Jason Robert Brown.

During her decade in NYC, McGarry served as a Lincoln Center Teaching Artist, U.S. State Department Jazz Ambassador, and Jazz Arts faculty member at The Manhattan School of Music. Downbeat's 2016 Critics Poll named McGarry the #1 Rising Star Female Jazz Vocalist. She has been featured on iconic NPR shows such as Jazz Set w/DeeDee Bridgwater, Piano Jazz w/Marion McPartland, All Things Considered, as well as a host

of nationally syndicated radio shows. Guitarist/arranger/producer Keith Ganz is a 2019 GRAMMYTM nominee known for his uniquely melodic voice on both electric and acoustic guitars.

After honing their craft on the NYC jazz scene for many years and a stint out west at the California Jazz

Conservatory, the couple has made their home in Durham, NC. Their upcoming album What to Wear in the Dark features vibrant, jazz- fueled rearrangements of songs by iconic songwriters of the 70's that address the journey of darkness to light we've been traveling as a country and as individuals this year, with performances by jazz greats Ron Miles, Gary Versace, Obed Calvaire, Sean Smith, Clarence Penn, Becca Stevens, Erin Bentlage, Michelle Willis, Christian Euman, and James Shipp. This long anticipated work is slated for release on the Resilience Music Alliance label on 9/3/21.
