The Siskiyou Institute Presents: Jessica Fichot Group

French Chanson & Gypsy Jazz
 Jazz at the Vineyard Series

L.A.-based chanteuse/songwriter Jessica Fichot is a lot like her hometown of Paris: French at heart, but with a soul that's truly international. Drawing from her multi-ethnic French / Chinese / American upbringing, her music fuses styles and languages, taking the listener on a twisting journey out of the French Chanson tradition, into the lands of gypsy jazz, Chinese and Latin American folk music, and into the wilderness of her imagination

Tickets: $20/$15 for Siskiyou Institute & Wine Club Members. Reservations are highly recommended.For reservations, please call 541-488-3869 or e-mail: info@siskiyouinstitute.com
