Please join us for a special matinee of songs from the heart with acclaimed vocal stylist and songwriter Jenna Mammina and renowned pianist John R. Burr.

With over two decades of collaboration, Mammina and Burr share a uniquely warm and uplifting onstage chemistry—one filled with authenticity, deep musical connection, and plenty of laughter. Their long partnership makes this a rare opportunity to experience these two remarkable performers together in one of their favorite venues, The Back Room, a place that has always felt like home for their music.

The program features a heartfelt selection of songs by Linda Ronstadt, Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, Abbey Lincoln, Dorothy Fields, and James Taylor, along with original compositions by Mammina. Audiences can look forward to moving music, engaging storytelling, and even a joyful sing-along.

Join us for a afternoon that celebrates connection, tenderness, and the simple beauty of songs from the heart.
