Elaine Dame Duo with Chris White
CityGate Grille will present a performance Friday, June 1, by nationally renowned jazz vocalist Elaine Dame accompanied by pianist Chris White.
Dame has appeared in world-famous venues such as New York’s Rainbow Room and 54 Below. She’s headlined at Herb Alpert’s Vibrato Jazz Grille in Los Angeles, and at the Chicago Jazz Festival. Called “a gem in the city’s vocal jazz scene” by Time Out Chicago, Dame is known for bringing virtuosic interpretations to vintage vocal classics and modern standards alike.
Prior to focusing on jazz vocal performances, Dame, a graduate of The Theater Repertory Program at California State University Northridge, performed in Chicago’s theater scene. She was described in the Chicago Reader as having “a winning stage presence and chameleon-like vocal flexibility.”
White, having made his name as a go-to pianist, arranger and accompanist in the Chicago area, has grazed the cover of Chicago Jazz Magazine, and performed at The Green Mill, Winter’s Jazz Club, The Jazz Kitchen and Chicago Jazz Festival. He is also a faculty member at North Central College in Naperville.
“We love celebrating local artists and look forward to presenting Dame and White to our guests in June,” Solomon said.
CityGate Grille presents live music on Fridays and Saturdays year-round. All shows are 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at 2020 Calamos Ct., Naperville. Visit CityGateGrille.com for music schedules and reservations.
