Shelly Rudolph's Diva Deluxe: Ms. Rudolph sings Billie, Nina, Aretha... & some Shelly Too

Join vocalist Shelly Rudolph on a soul-drenched tour through the timeless music of the divas who shaped her—Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, and Aretha Franklin—alongside a few of her own smoldering originals. With a voice described as “equal parts sugar and whiskey” (All About Jazz), Shelly brings smoky elegance, raw emotion, and deep reverence to the music that raised her.

She’ll be joined by an off-the-charts all-star trio:
• Joe Bagg (piano & organ) – Known for his dynamic feel and fiery groove, Joe has toured internationally and recorded with jazz greats like Anthony Wilson and Peter Bernstein and the fabulous Jeff Goldblum. A true master of both Hammond B3 and piano, his playing brings deep swing and soulful shimmer.
• Charlie Doggett (drums) – One of the Pacific Northwest’s most beloved drummers, Charlie’s intuitive touch and rhythmic power have supported artists like Esperanza Spalding and Dan Balmer. His versatility moves effortlessly between hush and thunder.
• Tim Willcox (saxophone) – A Portland saxophone treasure, Tim has been called “a modern master of tone and soul”. His improvisations bring both heat and heart, making every note count.

Expect torch songs, gospel grit, slow burn ballads, and a few surprises in this unforgettable evening.
