PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Billie Holiday, also known as “Lady Day,” is known as one of the best American jazz singer-songwriters in history.
There’s even a night here in Portland filled with jazz performances to pay tribute to the icon on what would have been her 109th birthday.
A portion of the ticket proceeds will benefit the non-profit Siren Nation, a group promoting and amplifying voices of women through the arts in Portland. Another portion will also benefit local community radio station KBOO.
