The Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse will host local artist Kristen Warren in an elegant evening of jazz on August 7, 2020 in her Wednesday Mornings concert.
Wednesday Mornings is a jazz album composed by Warren and Ethan Bailey Gould at Rocky Water Studios in the Eau Gallie Arts District. While the album sounds smooth and stylish, Warren impressively shares that it was recorded in a single night in May of 2018 and is now making its debut.
Warren has been performing since the age of seven and has been performing actively throughout Florida for the past twelve years at events and festivals including the Zora Neale Hurston Festival, Florida Music Festival, Orlando Fringe Festival, and has toured throughout the east coast from New York City to Ft. Lauderdale in collaboration with SOFAR Sounds. Kristen is also no stranger to the theatre stage and has portrayed iconic characters such as Billie Holiday in Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill to Joanne in RENT and one of Louis Armstrong’s wives in the World Premier of the Wonderful World of Louis Armstrong by Trevor Preston and brought to the Playhouse by local jazz supporter Peter Clayton.
“In many ways this feels like a homecoming for us,” says Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Anastacia Hawkins-Smith of Warren, “Kristen is such an incredible and captivating artist and she is bringing musical artists like Ethan Bailey-Gould, Ashton Bailey-Gould, Dex Wilborn, Mason Margut, and DK Issit all together on our stage.” Of particular interest, is that this concert will take place before Ethan Bailey-Gould, who has toured Europe and performed at Carnegie Hall, returns to the Peabody School of Music to continue his studies in jazz.
All of these artists and magic come together on August 7th at 7:30 PM live onstage at the Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse.
