Ella and Louis

The Ella and Louis event at the Southern Theatre features a tribute to two foundational artists in jazz and blues. Expect a night focused on classic interpretations of their songbooks, likely performed by a vocalist and a trumpeter, backed by a jazz ensemble. This kind of show is about honoring a specific era and sound, rather than contemporary experimentation. This concert is on Friday, October 9, 2026, at the Southern Theatre in Columbus, OH. The Southern Theatre is known for its acoustics and more formal setting, which suits a seated, appreciative audience. It's a good evening out for those who enjoy traditional jazz, blues standards, and a sophisticated concert atmosphere.
