Charlie Hunter Trio with Lucy Woodward to perform Sunday, July 28 at Off Broadway

Guitarist Charlie Hunter and his trio, featuring vocalist Lucy Woodward and drummer Keita Ogawa, are returning to St. Louis to perform at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, July 28 at Off Broadway.

Hunter, who's known for using his seven-string guitar to play bass lines, accompaniment, and leads more or less simultaneously, first connected with Woodward last year, when she joined him for a tour originally booked with Mexican singer-songwriter Silvana Estrada, whose visa application was denied at the last minute by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Woodward has released four albums as a solo artist, has sung live with with Pink Martini and the WDR Big Band, and done background vocals for pop singers including Rod Stewart, Celine Dion, and Barbra Streisand.

In April, Hunter and Woodward (pictured) released their first collaborative album Music!Music!Music!, which includes their interpretations of songs from a variety of artists, ranging from Blind Willie Johnson and Bessie Smith to Nina Simone and Terence Trent D’Arby.

Tickets for the Charlie Hunter Trio at Off Broadway are $20 in advance, $25 day of show and are on sale now.
