Debbie Duncan, vocals |
Originally from Detroit, Debbie Duncan's Minnesota Music Awards include Best Female Jazz Vocalist, Best Jazz Vocalist, Best Female Performer, Best Jazz Group and Best Jazz CD. A nice resume by any standard. Her horizons have been expanding as she has been performing from the Dakotas to the East Coast. The intimate Carlton Room setting provides a classic opportunity to produce mesmerizing memories.
In addition to great music, culinary fare will be provided by OMC Smokehouse. Yummm.
