Listening to Dena Blue and The BlueJazz Band at the Plaza. Beautiful evening, fabulous music. - La Porte By The Bay
The city of La Porte is proud to welcome Dena Blue and the BlueJazz Band to the 2010 Plaza by the Bay Summer Concert Series on Friday, August 6. The popular jazz vocalist and combo will play at Five Points Town Plaza from 6 – 9 p.m. The Plaza by the Bay concert series consists of six outdoor summer concerts held at the new Five Points Plaza in downtown La Porte. All concerts in the series are free and open to the public. The Aug. 6 concert is sponsored by Lubrizol and the Plaza by the Bay Concert series is underwritten by Beacon Federal Credit Union and Quality Inn and Suites.
Dena Blue is the consummate vocal performer and professional entertainer. The BlueJazz Band, with Dena Blue and Houston's top musicians, always ensured that each event has only the finest sound. Their performances are sought after by the public and admired by their peers. Dena’s soft and sultry voice is a perfect match for the jazz and blues genre, and her musical talent extends beyond to country and gospel music. She has the honor of receiving Best Female Vocalist of 2008 and 2009 from MellowD Music Production Co. and was inducted into a Texas Music Hall of Fame. When not performing with her BlueJazz Band, Dena gives back to the musical community by mentoring “budding” musicians.

Vendors will be available at the Plaza, and patrons are welcome to bring their picnic blankets and lawn chairs. Parking will be available at the La Porte Community Church parking lot, 200 South 1st Street.

Take Five With Dena Blue
by AAJ Staff
Dena has been on stage since the early age of three. She was blessed to have her talent nurtured by a loving family that happened to be performers. As a child, she performed weekly with the singing King Family of Corpus Christi, Texas.
By the age of 12, Dena was singing on radio and television. In her late teens, she was a model for the fashion industry in Los Angeles. Her great love for music and entertaining has taken her to a career performing nationally and internationally.
She has become a very accomplished singer/vocalist and "on air" personality. You may have heard her daily talk show "Something For You" on Dorton and Crawford Broadcasting, a 50,000 watt station that reached five different states simultaneously.
