About this Event
On the fourth Friday of each month we open up our doors to the jazz world Inviting local jazz musicians to bless our stage with their individual sounds. A DJ from our friends at WRIR will spin before and between sets.
For April we are joined by Tina Hashemi
Tina Hashemi is a gifted jazz vocalist based out of Central Virginia and Philadelphia. She began her studies with Danielle Wertz in high school and went on to graduate from the University of Virginia, where she studied jazz vocal performance under Stephanie Nakasian and John D’earth.
Her pure, unaffected tone, her sense of swing, and her creativity as an improviser with big ears and stores of imagination has made her a favorite with some of the most advanced musicians in the Virginia/D.C. area. Paul Langosch, who played with Tony Bennett for decades, Daniel Clarke, who was KD Lang’s pianist, Devonne Harris, member of Butcher Brown, and tenor saxophonist Charles Owens are now colleagues and fans of the sweet sensibility she brings to classic jazz standards and the Great American Songbook. In 2024, Tina was awarded 3rd place in the international Ella Fitzgerald Jazz Vocal Competition based out of Blues Alley that was judged by the New York Voices.
Tina has performed at venues such as The Paramount, Goldwing, Gallery 5, the Ting Pavilion, and the VMFA. She has also performed at the MAD Jazz Festival two years in a row as well as the Lake Anna Jazz Festival. Beyond performing, Tina has also led a masterclass at Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, where she was a featured guest artist in their annual Gala concert.
Tina is in the process of recording a new album with some old and newfound musical friends. Her growth as an emerging artist continues as she explores her own unique voice in jazz music.
