Join The Plant and Fair Game Beverage Company in Pittsboro’s new listening room for Wheelhouse Music Sessions: Julie Lambert and The AlphaGal Quartet on Sat, Apr 11, 7:30pm-9:30pm. Julie Lambert and the AlphaGal crew return to the Wheelhouse, this time as a Quartet! Get ready for an intimate evening of groovy jazz, vintage Brazilian, French, and more!

What would happen if a guardian of jazz guitar pomp and grandeur, with space-time to kill, met a lion-tamer with a multi-colored bass and a comet to chase, a percussion-temperature raiser in the mood for sailing, and an American-born French singer-songwriter longing for her original spiraling roots? They would call it Julie Lambert and the AlphaGal Quartet, and they want you to discover the result of this chemical reaction along with them at their upcoming show!

Meet your performers:

• Lead vocalist Julie Lambert enjoys interpreting and scatting around jazz standards, playing the part of the characters in each song, no matter how corny.
• Guitarist and vocalist Dave Smith enjoys playing jazz and anything he can sing harmonies on.
• Percussionist Robert Cantrell enjoys finding the intersections of Afro-Caribbean and American Pop music and exploring how each informs the other.
• Acoustic bassist Jim O’Keefe enjoys hopping from one traditional style to another, his bass, his pogo stick.
• Saxophonist Stephen Cowles plays the flute and musical saw in addition to the saxophone, bringing with him a musical blend of upbeat swing, blues, Americana, and New Orleans-influenced sounds.
