Cynthia Wilson with the Birdsong Quartet In Concert

Cynthia Wilson with the Birdsong Quartet In Concert at the Jazz Cave at the Nashville Jazz Workshop on Saturday, October 8, 2022.

Grammy-nominated vocalist Cynthia Wilson is a well-known gospel artist, conductor, and clinician. What you may not know is that she’s also an outstanding jazz artist! Our good friend John Birdsong called us a few weeks back and excitedly let us know that we had to hear this phenomenal vocalist. As a result, we booked her for a jazz cave concert so you too can hear her!

Joining Cynthia will be Birdsong’s Quartet, an outstanding group of musicians with John on bass and Bryan Harrison (piano), Smitty Smith (drums), and Jonathan Rogerson (guitar). Don’t miss this one!

The band takes the stage at 7:30pm CST (Doors at 7:00pm).
