Olivia Van Goor Sings the Music of Anita O’Day

Olivia Van Goor returns to the Blue LLama Jazz Club honoring one of her greatest vocal inspirations: Anita O’Day. A self-described “song stylist,” Anita brought a bold, innovative sound to jazz that captivated Olivia early in her career. Through iconic recordings like “Tea for Two” and “Sweet Georgia Brown,” as well as hidden gems such as “Waiter, Make Mine Blues” and “Hershey Bar,” Olivia will trace Anita’s remarkable journey—a story of both triumph and turbulence. Joined by a stellar jazz trio, Olivia invites you to experience the legacy of a woman who defied the mold of the typical “girl singer” and reshaped the sound of vocal jazz forever.
