“Chicago does not lack for engaging trumpeters, vocalists, pianists, bandleaders, songwriters and arrangers — but how many can do it all? Jeannie Tanner happens to be one… If you’ve ever been fortunate enough to hear her pick up a horn, or sing a ballad or unveil an original song, you know that she practically exudes music.”
– Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune

City Winery hosts the first in-person performance of “3 Martini Jeannie.” Through the pandemic, every Friday at 5pm, Jeannie celebrated the close of each stressful week with live music, performing audience requests and sharing martini recipes. When shows could be safely performed outside, Jeannie was joined by longtime musical collaborators Stacy McMichael (bass) and Derek Henderson (drums).
May 20 brings Jeannie’s trio to the City Winery stage performing a diverse repertoire of covers including songs by artists such as Alicia Keys, Amy Winehouse, Camila Cabello and Norah Jones; along with a few jazz standards, R&B classics and her original songs. Joining the band are two special guests: Abigail Riccards (vocals/piano) and Lisa McQueen (piano). Jeannie will also be taking a few audience requests.
