Live entertainment options are increasing every week. This week’s highlights include touring shows by jazz and polka stars and a concert by a Country Music Hall of Fame member.
Jazz: Musician
Aubrey Logan is a double-threat: She’s a jazz trombone player and a peppy vocalist who once earned a golden ticket on “American Idol.” She’s also an eclectic artist who has vamped up Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” with Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, dropped an aria from “Carmen” onto her debut album and recorded an instrumental version of Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” for her upcoming “Standard.”
