Arrive early to sign up! This week's Blue Monday Jam Session is hosted by vocalist Millie Edwards.
The diminutive Kansas City vocalist Millie Edwards, is occasionally introduced to audiences as "the little woman with a big voice." She has always been drawn to music throughout her life, even when it wasn't the focus of her professional career. She minored in music at Ottawa University in Ottowa, Kansas. During her studies there, she became deepling influnced by American composer Aaron Copeland, whom she had the honor of meeting when he visited Ottawa. It was Copeland who first urged her to pursue singing. Nottingham was named in Ingram magazine's "50 Missourians You Should Know" list in 2016. Edwards is equally adept at belting out cabaret, pop, blues and jazz material.
