SUMMARY:Waltz for Debbie: A Juneteenth Tribute to Debbie Duncan
DESCRIPTION:  \nDebbie Duncan was one of the greatest jazz vocalists in the Twin Cities. She performed with many local and national acts. The Wolverines Jazz Quartet\, featuring Rick Carlson\, Jendeen Forberg\, and Steve Pikal\, leads this tribute to the legendary Ms. Duncan. Also\, featured vocalists Judi Vinar and Dennis Spears will share songs and stories. \nDennis Spears was inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame in 2013.
