“Darden,”
Darden is the ultimate fabulous jazz singer in town. We worship her. Darden is intelligent, inviting, charismatic, assuring, beautiful, easy yet glamorous- everything you’d want a girl to be. You can find her teaching at George Mason University training the next generation of singers as the director of Jazz Studies or bringing down the house at some of the most well-known venues, such as Blues Alley, Kennedy Center, Wolf Trap, to name a few.
