Catherine Russell will perform at Little Island on August 23, 2026. Russell is a jazz and blues vocalist and bandleader known for her interpretations of classic American songbook material, alongside original compositions. Her style draws heavily from the jazz traditions of the 1920s-1940s, incorporating elements of New Orleans jazz, swing, and blues, often featuring piano-driven arrangements and sophisticated vocal harmonies. She is recognized for her rich vocal tone and nuanced phrasing. Russell has released several critically acclaimed albums including “Sentimental Mood” and “Alone Together”.

Little Island is a public park in Hudson River Park, located in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. Opened in May 2021, it was designed by Heatherwick Studio and features a unique undulating landscape built on 199 tulip-shaped concrete piles driven into the riverbed. Originally conceived as Pier 54, the structure underwent multiple iterations and faced significant development challenges before its completion. The park includes walking paths, performance spaces, gardens, and offers views of the Manhattan skyline and New Jersey waterfront. It’s intended as a venue for artistic performances and community engagement alongside providing green space for public enjoyment.
