Something Cool: June Christy & Peggy Lee

Oregon Festival of American Music 2025 continues Friday August 8 at 1:30 pm at The Shedd in Eugene with SOMETHING COOL, Shirley Andress' tribute to legendary jazz stylists June Christy and Peggy Lee.

The concert is repeated on Saturday August 14 at 7:30 pm.

Of the many jazz and popular music vocalists Shirley Andress has created projects around over the years two in particular came to her mind as we discussed the art of the well-turned interpretation of the Classic Songbook and jazz standards: June Christy and Peggy Lee. They were exceptionally good at taking Classic songs and shaping them both musically and emotionally into remarkable and enduring covers.

Thank you to our sponsors, The Eye Center, QSL Print Communications, and Jeffery & Deborah Ogburn, for this concert.
