The Vacanti Sisters: A Night of Jazz/Folk Fusion

Jazz and Folk music are two very important genres in American history, and they share a common ancestor – the blues. 2024 JazzBuffalo Vocal Jazz poll winner Vanessa Vacanti brings these genres together in their modern forms to create something new and exciting – a jazz/folk fusion experience. The jazz talents and improvisations of singer Vanessa Vacanti mixed with the American roots expertise of Boston based fiddler (and sister) Cecilia Vacanti will create a dynamic and exciting show for the Pausa stage. Come listen to new and favorite tunes performed in a way you’ve never imagined.

Cecilia Vacanti is a Boston based, multi-styled fiddler who has “mesmerized” reviewers with her debut album, Earth’s Dark Shore. She is a member of the nationally touring contra dance band “Kingfisher”, and is a sought after fiddler for contra dances all over the Northeast. Cecilia has studied jazz and folk with amazing musicians such as Jeremy Kittel, Jason Anick, and Darol Anger.
