Darke County Center for the Arts
DCCA presents
soulful singer Kristine Jackson
Darke County Center for the Arts will present Cleveland-based vocalist
Kristine Jackson performing at The Bistro Off Broadway in Greenville on
Thursday, February 25. A part of DCCA's Coffeehouse Series, the show
starts at 7 p.m. “Kristine Jackson's set-list is not easy to
categorize,” said Keith Rawlins, DCCA Artistic Director. “She's opened
for blues gods Buddy Guy and B.B. King, but her material includes
traces of country, Motown, gospel, and folk music as well. Her style
transcends genres, and can be appreciated by everyone,” Rawlins
concluded.
Touted as a soulful vocalist with a natural-born ability to express
life through song, Kristine Jackson, known as KJ, accompanies herself
on acoustic guitar. She is a three-time finalist at the International
Blues Competition in Memphis; however, according to Mr. Rawlins, KJ may
follow a classic Robert Johnson blues song with a number by the Red Hot
Chili Peppers or one of her own unique compositions, aptly
demonstrating her eclectic skills.
DCCA's Coffeehouse Series presents high-quality artists performing in
an inviting casual setting where food and drink are available for
purchase. “Audiences have responded enthusiastically to this
opportunity to enjoy an excellent show in a friendly, intimate
setting,” said DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan. “Some people
bring their friends, others come alone to enjoy an uptown experience in
a down-home atmosphere; a good time is had by all,” she concluded.
DCCA's Coffeehouse Series is sponsored by Julie and Tom Graber, Eileen
and Steve Litchfield, and Rodney Oda. The Ohio Arts Council helps fund
this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth,
educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. DCCA
also receives operating support from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens
Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation and Lydia E.
Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund.
Tickets for the Kristine Jackson show cost $10, and can be purchased by
