Kick off the summer right with BlueStreet’s last show of the year at the Triple Door! BlueStreet Voices, directed by Dave Barduhn, is a one-on-a-mic, vocal jazz ensemble of talented singers that perform fun, creative vocal jazz arrangements in a variety of styles – swing, blues, be-bop, Latin, ballads, and gospel to name a few. They blend their voices to create rich harmonies up to 8 voicings. The group is backed by a 4-part rhythm section and led by renowned jazz pianist Nick Moore and is joined by special guest saxophonist Brent Jensen.

Inara George is a Los Angeles–based singer and songwriter whose voice and musicality move easily between pop, folk, and jazz. Best known as one half of The Bird and the Bee with Grammy-winning producer Greg Kurstin, and as a member of The Living Sisters, she has built a rich and varied career that spans acclaimed solo work, collaborations with Van Dyke Parks and Michael Andrews, and performances at venues ranging from the Hollywood Bowl and Carnegie Hall to beloved Los Angeles clubs like Largo and the Troubadour. Her latest release, Songs of Douglass and Littell, revisits music written years ago by her friends and longtime collaborators Philip Littell and Eliot Douglass. The album offers a fresh interpretation of their work—one that veers into new territory for George as she dives more deeply into jazz-inspired phrasing, harmony, and mood than ever before. Yet these interpretations fit seamlessly within the arc of her broader catalog, reflecting the same warmth, wit, and melodic imagination that define her earlier work. In performance, the music from Songs of Douglass and Littell feel like a natural extension of the voice and sensibility that have long been at the heart of her sound. $30 General // $40 Premium Get tickets
