About the Artist:
Karon Click McKinney | Karon Click has been chasing that siren song from classical roots to the rich, expressive depths of jazz, soul, and beyond. Her voice moves effortlessly from Mendelssohn to Marvin Gaye, from sacred to sultry, carrying audiences through stories that are as emotionally resonant as they are musically dynamic. Whether in an intimate lounge or on the concert stage, she brings a presence that is both disarming and electric.

A musician, curator, and community builder, Karon is the co-founder of Siren Series Jazz, a platform now in its fifth year dedicated to elevating female and female-identifying musicians in jazz. Through this work, she creates space for artists to refine their craft, collaborate boldly, and find their authentic voice.

Jazz has taken her to stages around the world, from Budapest to New Orleans, shaping a sound that is both timeless and deeply personal. She treasures the opportunity to share the stage with her husband, bass-baritone Jason McKinney, bringing an added layer of joy to this performance.

At the heart of it all is Karon's deep belief in the transformative power of music. Whether she's on stage or building community, she invites listeners into an experience that lingers—warm, vibrant, and just a little bit irresistible.

Time: 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM
