Pianist Judy Carmichael charmed local audiences in 2012 when she performed at the Whitefish Performing Arts Center. In November, she’ll return to the Flathead Valley for two performances.

The Judy Carmichael Trio, featuring Harry Allen on tenor saxophone and Chris Flory on guitar, performs Nov. 9 at the Bigfork Center for the Performing Arts, and Nov. 10 on stage in the dining room at the Whitefish Lake Golf Course Restaurant.

The Steinway Gallery of Spokane is providing a Steinway grand piano for Carmichael at both shows. Carmichael is one of the few jazz pianists honored as a Steinway artist.

She has appeared frequently on Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion” and has been featured on National Public Radio’s Morning Edition, Entertainment Tonight and CBS’ Sunday Morning.

Carmichael has played in a variety of venues, from Carnegie Hall to programs with Michael Feinstein and the Smothers Brothers. In addition, she’s performed private recitals for Robert Redford and President Bill Clinton.

Her weekly public radio show, “Judy Carmichael’s Jazz Inspired,” has been on the air for more than 20 years.

Tickets to the Nov. 9 show in Bigfork are available for $21, $23, $25 or $27. The show starts at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets to the Whitefish performance Nov. 10 are $27 for restaurant seating, or $20 at the bar. Dinner is not included.

Tickets are available at SingerandSimpson.com or Tix.com, or by calling (406) 730-2817.

The show is sponsored by Don “K” Subaru and brought to the valley by Singer & Simpson Productions.
