Messenger’s approach to her setlist focuses on a mix of classic standards and some lesser-known tracks from the Great American Songbook. Her vocal style is often noted for balancing dynamic energy with a more sedate tone, drawing influence from artists like Carmen McRae, Ella Fitzgerald, Anita O'Day, and the Boswell Sisters. It is a specific sound that fits well within the acoustics of a church setting, which is where the event is taking place on Church Road, Hove (BN3 2AD).
Regarding the logistics, there is a slight variation in the reported start times, with some sources mentioning 17:30 and others 18:30, so it might be worth double-checking the specific ticket details if you decide to go. The entry price for the concert is set at £13.00. Whether you are a regular follower of the swing genre or just interested in catching some live music in a local venue, this performance offers a straightforward evening of jazz standards.
