Original show description below.

After touring the world as the lead singer of Cirque du Soleil’s BAZZAR, vocalist Destani Wolf comes home to the Bay Area with a special program called Jazz Serenata with Holiday Soul – a night of originals and jazz standards with warmth, joy, and Latin vibes to put you into the holiday spirit. Special guest vocalist Martin Luther McCoy joins Wolf's stellar band for this run of shows.

Raised in Berkeley and now based in Los Angeles, Wolf is a distinctively soulful singer who instills a deep feel for the blues into every song she sings, from contemporary R&B to timeless jazz standards.

Both a gifted interpreter of the Great American Songbook as well as a self-assured songwriter, Wolf has lent her voice to the music of John Santos, GRAMMY-nominated vocalist on Jose Rizo, the Pharcyde, a cappella supergroup SoVoSó, Matisyahu, and the Velvet Underground’s John Cale, among others.

Her debut nu-soul EP, Peek Away, won a 2015 Independent Music Award, and she’s appeared on over 40 albums in her career. Her television and film work includes Disney’s The Descendants, comedian Kevin Hart’s Laugh at my Pain, HBO’s Momentum Generation, and So You Think You Can Dance. Most recently, she performed on the single “Home” in collaboration with artist and producer Starita.

This evening of holiday cheer with also include Wolf’s original holiday song “Share your Peace.”
