D.C.: SHANNON GUNN AND THE BULLETTES BRUNCH SHOW
"Shannon Gunn and the Bullettes" will present a special live recording, Jazz Brunch event at BOHEMIAN CAVERNS (2001 Eleventh Street N.W., Washington, DC - 202-299-0800) on Sunday, March 9th at 12:00 noon. "Shannon Gunn and the Bullettes" began as a dream of Shannon Gunn, trombone player and recent graduate of the George Mason University Masters in Jazz Studies program. After meeting with saxophone player Leigh Pilzer in the summer of 2010, they realized that there were enough talented and active musicians in the D.C. area to put together an all-women professional jazz orchestra. Mrs. Gunn decided to see if she could get them together to create a rough recording so that the general public could hear what they could do. Soon a Kickstarter website was born which allowed Mrs. Gunn to raise $1500 to pay for the production of the album. "Shannon Gunn and the Bullettes" are a musical performance organization that uplifts women in jazz, creates networking opportunities, and provides a positive role model for aspiring jazz musicians in the D.C. area. There is a $10 cover.
