Petra sings 'Travelin' Tunes' Sunday at St. Charles library

Take a musical journey across America and abroad with Chicago's acclaimed vocal/guitar duo Petra van Nuis and husband Andy Brown at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 6, in the historic Carnegie Community Room at the St. Charles Public Library, 1 S. Sixth Ave.

Petra van Nuis is a jazz vocalist who has been described in Downbeat Magazine as having a "light, gorgeous, and fairly delicate voice ... a gift for melody and plenty of rhythmic confidence."

A Cincinnati native, Petra came to Chicago in 2004 and regularly plays such prominent venues as the Jazz Showcase, the Green Mill, the Chicago Cultural Center, Fitzgerald's, and Andy's Jazz Club.

Festival appearances include the Chicago Jazz Festival, the Chautauqua Jazz Party, the Cedar Basin Jazz Festival, and headliner of the Michelob Women in Jazz Festival.

For more than 20 years, Brown has been fortunate to work at many of the area's finest jazz venues with his own bands, as well as playing his unique brand of solo jazz guitar. The Chicago Tribune's Howard Reich called Brown's work "superb but serenely understated."

Since 1981, the library has featured a wide variety of musical performances. The public is welcome and the concert is free to attend.
