This is a FREE event, but registration is required. The deadline to register is Friday, November 15.

Vocalist Lena Seikaly and guitarist Steve Herberman have played together regularly for the past seven years in the DC metro area. They enjoy spontaneous interaction while performing live, offering something new each time, harkening the iconic collaboration of Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass. Seikaly, a finalist in the 2015 Thelonious Monk vocal competition and bandleader in her own right, has headlined venues throughout the US, as well as Turkey and China. Herberman is an internationally known jazz guitarist featured in the book The Great Jazz Guitarists by Scott Yanow. Steve switched to a 7-string guitar 30 years ago, which lends a deep foundation to the duo's sound, much like having a bassist and a guitarist rolled into one. As a duo, they appear regularly at the Tabard Inn, have headlined Blues Alley, Gaithersburg Arts Barn and various other DC venues, and released an album in 2018 entitled "A Little Closer."
