Free Jazz Concert in Branford on Thursday, July 9

Kelly Mittleman will perform on the Branford Green for residents.

So inspired by her dedication, passion and influence to jazz, soul and R & B, and born into an amazing musical family, Kelly Mittleman began her pursuit of musical artistry when she auditioned for a blues band while underage in college. The group nudged her to get a phony ID so that she could sing all over the United States and the rest was history. Those same band members’ passionately encouraged her to raise the bar on her musical talents, leading up to her current highly successful, and active singing career.

Kelly will showcase her jazz talents on the Branford Town Green on Thursday, July 9, starting at 6:30 p.m. as part of the Branford Jazz Series.
