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.
