During its 14 years together, the Tierney Sutton Band has received a Grammy Nomination for Best Vocal Jazz Album, a JazzWeek Award for Vocalist of the Year, consecutive nominations for Jazz Journalist Association awards, recorded several CDs that made the #1 spot on jazz radio playlists, and garnered ciritical praise throughout the world. Comprised of vocalist Tierney Sutton and instrumental virtuosos Christian Jacob, Trey Henry, Kevin Axt, and Ray Brinker, the band has headlined in recent years at Carnegie Hall, The Hollywood Bowl, and Jazz at Lincoln Center and has appeared at the Monterey, Marcaic and Umbria jazz festivals.
The Orpheum Theater opened in 1913 as a vaudeville house and seats just under 700 (originally seating 1000). The elegant and beautifully preserved theatre served in this capacity until 1954, when the Community Playhouse group acquired the Orpheum for its home.
