Vicki Chew at Treelawn Social Club

Vicki Chew has a deep history in Northeast Ohio's music scene, spending more than three decades performing original songs and earning a place as a mainstay at the Barking Spider before becoming a regular at the Treelawn Social Club. Her sound is hard to pin down: it draws on jazz, folk, R&B, rock and Latin music, carried by poetic songwriting that has been described by fellow musician Caroline King as 'one organism with the same beating heart.'

Expect a warm, genre-crossing evening from Chew and her band, with Paul Lawson on bass and vocals and Gary Naherny on drums and vocals. Her four released albums — 'Your Perfect Life' (with Under The Tree), 'The Bells of St. Rose', 'People in the Sun', and 'We Are The Lucky Ones' — offer a sense of the range and storytelling she brings to the stage. For listeners who like their music intimate and eclectic, this is a chance to catch a veteran songwriter in a neighborhood club setting.
