Klea Blackhurst Holds Concert at Birdland 1/10

Jim Caruso is proud to present "An Evening With KLea Blackhurst," as part of the Broadway at Birdland concert series, spotlighting performers and writers from the Great White Way. The event will take place on Monday, January 10 at 7pm.

"An Evening with KLea Blackhurst!" will be a delightful evening, as Klea romps through her favorite selections from the great American songbook, Broadway, and contemporary pop.
