On Friday, September 7, Orange County Living Wage’s Benefit Concert with Katharine Whalen's JazzSquad puts living wages and home-grown talent squarely in the spotlight. Orange County's own Katharine Whalen brings her JazzSquad to Carrboro's ArtsCenter for an evening in celebration of living wage employers and workers, and the community that supports them. Katharine is a North Carolina native who has lived in Orange County since high school. She rocketed to fame in the ‘90s with the legendary band, The Squirrel Nut Zippers. Since then, Katharine has continued to evolve her artistry with various projects, including JazzSquad, a side project formed years ago to deepen her musical knowledge and build skills.
