KJ Denhert continues her All About the Song series with a very special show, a reunion with musicians from a residency that took place last year in Italy!

KJ tells the story behind the performance:

“Last September, a handful of musicians were invited to Bassano del Grappa, Italy, by professors from the University of Padua in Italy. What started as a 3 week artist – residency turned into something much bigger than I could have imagined. We lived together in a 16th-century villa, wrote new songs, shared meals, tried to understand one another across languages and cultures … and honestly, we saw each other more in those weeks than we see some of the people we love most back home.

“My band The Evening News played and shared music every day at the Villa. On March 13 I have invited New York Musicians to join me and re-create a show we performed on our final night in Bassano.

“What’s wild is that many of these connections began back in Brooklyn, at Sunny’s Bar where [a] professor of Philosophy wandered in , fell in love with the spirit of that historic Brooklyn venue, and decided he wanted to bring that vibe to his hometown of Bassano Del Grappa Italy. And that spark became the first Bassano Music Residency.

“So tonight isn’t just a concert. It’s a reunion. It’s the amazing musicians stepping into each other’s songs. It’s new songs and interesting stories that I could never have truly imagined. I can’t wait to share what happens when you give artists time, trust, and a beautiful place to create.”

The Evening News features Adam Armstrong, bass; Nicki Denner, piano; Eric Halvorson, drums; and Mark McIntyre, guitar.

The Bassano Residency New York Musicians: Samoa Wilson, singer-songwriter; Ken Shoji, violin; and Avi Rothbard, jazz guitarist.
