Mom & Me: A Little Bit Silly, A Whole Lotta Love

This Mother’s Day, celebrate with a one-of-a-kind evening of music, heart, and joy. Join Aja and Asa, a dynamic mother–son duo, for a fun experience that blends jazz standards, musical theatre, soul, funk, a little educaton and playful favorites from Blue's Clues Big Musical Movie. From swinging classics like “L-O-V-E” to heartfelt ballads like “Rise Up,” from Stevie Wonder sunshine grooves to sweet mother–son harmonies, this show is filled with warmth, humor, and genuine connection. Featuring crowd-pleasing favorites by Stevie Wonder, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, and more, the evening moves effortlessly between silly and sentimental — with room for jazz solos, storytelling, and a few surprises.

A lover of all things entertainment, and spreading love and joy, Aja Parham uses her music to do just that but year round! Finding herself singing mostly R&B and Funk because of her musician parents' influence, Gospel in her church choir, and Jazz after starting in high school and studying jazz vocalists such as Sarah Vaughan, Aja throws a bit of all her musical influences into each of her performances and guarantees a good time everytime. After graduating from the U of MN with a Bachelor of Music degree in Vocal Performance, Aja went on to perform with the Minnesota Opera, Skylark Opera, Penumbra Theatre and the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts. After a time, Aja rekindled her love of Jazz, R&B, Funk and Motown, and started performing as a freelance vocalist throughout the Twin Cities. A 2024 Ordway Center Greenroom Fellow, currently, you can find her performing in a variety of venues such as the Capri Theatre, Umbra, Dakota Jazz Club, Minnesota Music Cafe, Aster House Minneapolis, and The Brownstone Jazz Club, as well as singing with many well-known local and national artists like Brass Solidarity, Bebe Zahara Benet, Johnnie Brown and the Brownstone band, Kashimana Ahua, the Capri Big Band, and in her own Sarah Vaughan Tribute Shows throughout the year. In addition to being an entertainer, she is also a mom to a 10 year old that also sings and does performances with her.
