Deedles & Caldwell bring “swing era style” back to Kohler Feb. 12

The voices of Diane “Deedles” Schuur and Bobby Caldwell – whose music has inspired scores of young, modern jazz artists –will make a one-night performance stop at the Kohler Memorial Theatre (260 School St., Kohler) at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 12.

Their dual performance of “The Sing in Swing,” which is a look-back at the swing and big band era, will enchant audiences with the swooning of Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and other era greats – a fitting experience just two eves before Valentine’s Day.

These renowned voice talents celebrated in the music industry boast solo careers that span three decades. Born without sight, Grammy Award-winning Schuur supplements her haunting voice with piano prowess to remain a jazz/pop force, while Caldwell’s versatile style makes him a smooth live performer and songwriter, whose music continues to influence today’s young artists.

This show is the second in a three-part series for the Kohler Foundation’s annual Distinguished Guest Series. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased online at www.kohlerfoundation.org/tickets or by calling (920) 458-1972. Group discounts are available.
