Pianist Judy Carmichael at the Dogwood on November 9

Grammy nominated pianist Judy Carmichael will perform on the Dogwood Center main stage on November 9 at 7:30 p.m.!  Judy is one of the world’s leading interpreters of stride piano and swing. Count Basie nicknamed her “Stride,” acknowledging the command with which she plays this technically and physically demanding jazz piano style.
 
Judy has taken this infectious style of music and her equally infectious personality everywhere from posh nightclubs in Paris and Melbourne to Carnegie Hall and a Rio concert for ten thousand Brazilians; from Arundel Castle to Castle Fraser for the National Trust of Scotland. 

Carmichael has been featured on A Prairie Home Companion, NPR’s Morning Edition, Entertainment Tonight, CBS’ Sunday Morning, CNN’s Business Unusual, and the BBC’s Loose Ends, In Tune, Up All Night, Woman’s Hour and numerous other shows. 
For 25 years Judy has produced and hosted Judy Carmichael’s Jazz Inspired radio show which broadcasts on NPR stations across America.  She has written two books on stride piano and numerous articles about jazz.  

What a special treat to have such a talented musician perform in Newaygo County!
