Foellinger Theatre has announced that Canadian pianist and singer Diana Krall will be coming to town for a performance on Tuesday, Aug. 1, at 8 p.m.
Krall is the only jazz singer to have eight albums debut at the top of the Billboard Jazz Albums chart. To date, her albums have garnered two Grammy Awards and 10 Juno Awards, presented by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts.
Krall’s 1999 release, When I Look in Your Eyes, spent an unprecedented 52 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard Jazz chart.
The famously diffident singer has built herself quite the résumé and we are about to see firsthand come August.
