About the Show
Bria Skonberg returns to the CMA stage! Hailed as “a millennial shaking up the jazz world” (Vanity Fair), this powerhouse trumpeter, vocalist, and songwriter blends fiery trumpet, smoky vocals, and bold storytelling. A three-time Juno Award nominee and Sony Masterworks artist, she has performed with Jon Batiste, U2, and more. Don’t miss this chance to hear her boundary-breaking artistry!
Previous CMA Performances: 2015-2016 Season
”Skonberg has become the shining hope of hot jazz, on the strength of a clarion trumpet style indebted to Louis Armstrong, a smooth purr of a singing voice inspired by Anita O'Day and the wholesome glow of youth.
– Nate Chinen, New York Times
