Wesla Whitfield is a remarkable singer, with a deep love for that rich storehouse of musical treasures often identified as The Great American Popular Songbook. Wesla has been developing her skills and learning her demanding craft for a number of years - by her own estimate, it’s been ever since she “knew at age two-and-a-half that I would grow up to be a singer.” Her sound and approach would seem to place her somewhere in the intriguing area that borders on both jazz and that aspect of pop music which draws its material largely from the great standards and neglected gems of such as Cole Porter and Irving Berlin and Rodgers and Hart.

Wesla, with her husband/pianist/arranger, Mike Greensill performs annually throughout the country and returns in 2007 for the 26th annual winter run in San Francisco‘s York Hotel Empire Plush Room. Together Mike and Wesla have opened at Michigan’s Meadowbrook, New Jersey’s Garden State Art Center and Flint Center in Cupertino for such notables as George Burns, Michael Feinstein and Frankie Laine.

Solo symphonic appearances include concerts with the San Francisco Symphony as well as San Jose, Sacramento, Omaha, Stockton, Napa, Auburn, Concord Pavilion, Santa Rosa and California Symphonies.

The program will include Wesla Whitfield, Mike Greensill & Ensemble, Sax Star Gary Foster, Horn Quartet with Bill Klingelhoffer, and members of the Peninsula Symphony.
