Jazz singer Cris Barber will perform at Rancho Los Cerritos, 4600 Virginia Rd., during a July 22 concert. Museum gates will open for picnicking after 4:30pm, and the concert will be performed from 5:30pm to 7pm in the open garden of the Rancho adobe house. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and/or blankets. Admission is free.
Barber is a jazz vocalist from Southern California who won the Orange County Music Award (OCMA) for Best Jazz Artist in 2004. She was then nominated four times for the OCMA and once for the Southern California Music Award. Barber utilizes vocals to accentuate a combination of pop and jazz standards much like Victor Young’s “My Foolish Heart,” Cole Porter’s “Love For Sale,” and Paul McCartney’s “Blackbird” to name a few, according to a press release issued by the Rancho.
The performance will be the second of three summer concerts to be held this year at Rancho Los Cerritos. The final summer show will be the Romanza concert, which will present a mix of traditional and modern Latin jazz on Aug. 26. All concerts begin at 5:30pm.
