Catherine Russell is a vocalist and musician specializing in early 20th-century American music, focusing on jazz, blues, and the Great American Songbook. Her work is characterized by a commitment to historical authenticity, often reviving forgotten recordings from the pre-war era. She has received critical acclaim for her interpretations of artists such as Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey, earning multiple nominations and recognition for her contributions to traditional jazz and roots music.

The performance takes place at Little Island, a public park and performance space located on the Hudson River in New York City. Designed by Heather Grace Campanoli and Matthew caramellose of Studio Gang, the venue is distinguished by its unique architecture, consisting of concrete tulips that elevate the park above the waterline. As part of the larger Pier 55 project, Little Island serves as a cultural hub that integrates open green spaces with dedicated areas for live music and artistic presentations within the city's waterfront landscape.
