For our last show of the year, Jazz at the Fort Garry Hotel welcomes Amber Epp for a special holiday instalment of our popular How To Listen To Jazz series, presented by The Asper Foundation.

This show will be the perfect seasonal opportunity to learn more about the history of our favourite holiday tunes and their origins. Think standards by Nat King Cole, Dave Brubeck, and Ella Fitzgerald, and educational anecdotes, stories, and historical context to help develop the audience’s ability to appreciate and understand these familiar songs on a deeper level.

Plus, Amber's family has a tradition of travelling to warm, tropical locations at Christmas to escape the cold, so the band will bring some of those tropical vibes - you might discover a new holiday favourite!

Amber Epp performs uplifting vocal jazz music with a rhythmic beat. She has performed across Canada, and won a Western Canadian Music Award for one of her four albums. Her latest album is called Inside Outside. With delightful wit, Amber enchants her audiences, leaving them walking away with a smile on their face and a groove in their step.
