It's Midday on the Arts today, and we open the hour with the great jazz vocalist, Tierney Sutton, singing Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend from her ambitious 19-track CD, Screenplay, a 2019 collection of great songs written for movies.

And for more than two decades, she's been touring and recording with the Tierney Sutton Band, currently featuring Christian Jacob on piano, Trey Henry on bass and CV Dashiell on drums.

Tierney Sutton and her band will be appearing this Saturday, March 25 and Sunday, March 26 at Baltimore’s wonderful jazz club, Keystone Korner in Harbor East.
