Christine Manetta & The Culture Combo-Newport Jazz Festival

Christine Manetta performs energy-driven, Award Winning, Anthem - Style songs with her passion filled vocals leading the way. Be transported to an incredibly diverse experience of Western Lyrics married with African Melodies, midst the pumping organ sounds of Adam Rudegeair, alongside an injection of Sinewy Horn riffs and Expressive, Soulful Violin Tones.

A cocktail of Soul - Funk to Swing Jazz, encapsulating Christine greatest influence Nina Simone, & Original Blues music that is refreshingly not Blues.
