V. Shayne Frederick & Co:
A Joyful Jazzy Holiday
Opening Act: Christine Petrini and the Lyceum Studio Holiday Singers

V. Shayne Frederick is a vocalist, pianist, recording artist, composer and educator with  performances spanning two decades. He has been featured at TEDx, NPR, a multitude of music fests, museums, and jazz clubs throughout the country, in addition to curating weekly musical series at South Jazz Kitchen and JG Skyhigh, Four Seasons Comcast within the last few years.

An ASCAP member, V. Shayne also scores for film and commercial. One animated short film he scored, “Testimony,” has garnered critical acclaim and screenings internationally, winning an award at the Black Star Film Festival. His musical production work has appeared in Visit Philadelphia commercials and other film media.

V. Shayne grew up on a church piano bench next to his vocalist-pianist mother in rural North Carolina; his father performed contemporary Jazz saxophone in Philadelphia. V. Shayne’s first performances, however, were in the Dartmouth College Gospel Choir, for which he quickly rose to be the director by the time he was a sophomore.

Years later, V. Shayne has been cited by the Broad Street Review as “one of the region’s busiest and best jazz singers,” appointed “one to watch” and a “shining light” by All About Jazz, and called “soulful” in Downbeat Magazine. According to WRTI, “Frederick […] could sing about breakfast cereal and make me believe in a higher power,” and according to WXPN, “his stunning baritone effortlessly soars; sometimes a seductive whisper, sometimes an exuberant belt.” Come spend some carefree time with us listening to holiday music with one of the most incredible singers! You need this. We all do!

The Lightning Thief (TYA)

Nov. 21st - Invited Dress @ 7 PM

Nov. 22nd - 7:00 PM

Nov. 23rd - 3:00 PM & 7:00 PM

As  the half-blood son of a Greek god, Percy Jackson has newly-discovered  powers he can't control, a destiny he doesn't want, and a mythology  textbook's worth of monsters on his trail. When Zeus's master lightning  bolt is stolen and Percy becomes the prime suspect, he has to find and  return the bolt to prove his innocence and prevent a war between the  gods. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch  the thief. He must travel to the Underworld and back; solve the riddle  of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and come to  terms with the father who abandoned him.
