Janis Siegel of The Manhattan Transfer and Lauren Kinhan of New York Voices bring their lovingly curated vocal salon uptown to The Iridium. Vocal Gumbo is a soulful and diverse recipe of New York City’s rich singer community, featuring legends alongside up-and-coming talent, vocal groups, improvisers, “out of towners” who happen to crash the party, and practitioners of the vocal arts from all cultures and genres. Accompanied by world-class instrumentalists, the night opens with the singing Vocal Gumbo dynamic duo, followed by the featured special guest artist, who often collaborates on a song or two with Janis and Lauren. The lineup continues with a beautiful flow of singers emerging from the audience to offer their flavor to the night. 

Join our piquant premiere on May 21st at The Iridium with our special guest, Grammy-nominated contemporary jazz vocalist Christie Dashiell. You don’t want to miss this superstar on the rise and the bounty of artists we have lined up for this occasion.
