Indigo Hour: Chloe McFadden at the Blue Room
About this Event
The Indigo Hour is how the Blue Room does happy hour: live music on the bandstand starting at five-thirty, the week left at the door. This week the bandstand belongs to Kansas City jazz royalty.
Chloe McFadden is the third generation of one of this city's great jazz families — granddaughter of world-renowned tap dancer Jimmy McFadden, daughter of KC legend Lonnie McFadden, and the first woman in the family to step into the spotlight professionally. She was singing before most kids can hold a conversation, performing publicly by age five, and has since sung the National Anthem at Kauffman Stadium and shared the Kauffman Center stage with her father and the Kansas City Jazz Orchestra.
Her sets move from classic jazz standards to soulful reworks of Prince, Amy Winehouse, and Etta James — delivered in velvet tones, and every so often punctuated the family way: with tap shoes on. After stepping away from music to raise her two daughters, she returned to Kansas City and came back to singing full-time with no backup plan. The city is better for it.
Come early, grab a drink, and catch a legacy in motion. Admission is $5; AJM members are free.
The Blue Room, 1600 E 18th St, Kansas City, MO 64108. Friday, July 24 at 5:30 pm.
