Kurt Elling

Kurt Elling deserves his extraordinary reputation! Confident, inspiring, joyous, and empathetic, he and SuperBlue had the crowd hooked and rocking in the first two minutes. And the entire group of musicians were obviously having as much fun as their so vocal fans. Nothing could dampen the spirit of the clapping and whooping crowd, not even a several minute downpour. Out came a sea of umbrellas, and the swinging audience just stayed with their Pied piper. Thank you, Kurt Elling - you and your so-spirited colleagues!! And thanks to the wise young ma who, after years of dreaming booked you into the NC Museum of Art amphitheater.
