Wednesdays @ Davenport's - Jeannie Tanner singing & playing piano 7:30pm=9:30pm
"Chicago does not lack for engaging trumpeters, vocalists, pianists, bandleaders, songwriters and arrangers — but how many can do it all? Jeannie Tanner happens to be one… If you've ever been fortunate enough to hear her pick up a horn, or sing a ballad or unveil an original song, you know that she practically exudes music.”
- Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune
