Blue Notes & Bright Nights is a refined three-part jazz concert series bringing world-class musicians to the heart of Holly Springs. Hosted by Arts Holly Springs and produced by Christian Tamburr as part of the Icons of Jazz Concert Series, this curated lineup celebrates timeless standards, soulful storytelling, and the artistry that continues to shape jazz today. Each evening will be held at Ashe Music Hall, offering an intimate concert experience right here in our community.

Multi-Grammy Award-nominated vocalist Kate McGarry and guitarist Keith Ganz draw from their richly decorated jazz careers to offer imaginative, fresh interpretations of beloved pop and iconic jazz standards. With subtle influences from Pat Metheny, Sting, Tom Waits, Paul Simon, and Joni Mitchell, alongside compelling original compositions, their performance weaves a delicate musical narrative that balances the familiar with the extraordinary.
