The week before Satchmo Summerfest (which happens August 5-7), we'll be broadcasting live performances from our studio as Satchmo acts share a taste of what's ahead on the weekend. You can also watch the live video stream of the performances.

On Wednesday, August 3, we'll welcome Miss Sophie Lee and her rich, romantic, and sweet voice into our studio. Shades of Billie Holiday peek through in Lee's performances. She recently celebrated the release of her album Traverse This Universe at her regular Thursday evening gig at The Spotted Cat. Traverse includes well-loved covers of Duke Ellington and Fats Waller classics as well as originals.

Lee certainly stays busy--in the fifteen years since moving to New Orleans in search of its culinary and musical culture, Ms. Sophie Lee has released four albums, opened the jazz club Three Muses in 2010, and is set to open Seoul Shack this summer.

For more on Miss Sophie, check out our recent new music spotlight on Traverse This Universe and Keith Spera's article in the New Orleans Advocate about her CD release show.

Miss Sophie Lee will be performing at Satchmo SummerFest's Cornet Chop Suey Stage on Friday, August 5 from 1-1:45p. See the full festival schedule here.
