Janet Evra celebrating album release on Sunday, November 18 at .ZACK

Bassist and singer Janet Evra will celebrate the release of her debut album Ask Her To Dance with a performance at 2:00 p.m. Sunday, November 18 at .ZACK, 3224 Locust St. in Grand Center.

Evra (pictured) will be accompanied by the musicians who played on the recording, including her husband, guitarist Will Buchanan, along with Adam Maness (piano), Montez Coleman (drums), Khamali Cuffie-Moore (trumpet), and Kwanae Johnson (tenor sax), plus additional special guests such as singer Chrissy Renick, keyboardist Jim Hegarty, and more.

The album, recorded by Jason McEntire at Sawhorse Studios in St. Louis and mastered by Brad Sarno at Blue Jade Audio, includes nine original songs, some evoking the bossa nova sound that influenced Evra and Buchanan in their "cover" project, The Bonbon Plot.

Tickets are $10, which includes general admission plus a CD of the album, and are on sale now via Metrotix.
