JOHNNY BRITT:

“MARVIN MEETS MILES”

All That Jazz…

When: January 7th @ 8:00pm & 10:00pm

Where: Blues Alley, Georgetown

Johnny Britt is a multi-talented singer,

songwriter, producer, trumpeter,

arranger and composer. Just coming off

a 20 city tour with Josh Groban, Johnny

is setting his sights on a tour of his

own. Johnny’s quest to expand musical

boundaries has only just begun. “The

artistry of Johnny Britt is compared to

that of Miles Davis and Marvin Gaye

simply because Johnny Britt sings like

Marvin and plays trumpet like Miles,”

says Lindsay Guion.
