Petra Van Nuis Quartet

At Local Note Jazz Club

Evanston

Arrive half‑hour early for drinks and seating – reviewer notes best experience.
Two‑drink minimum, but cocktail menu pleases all ages – venue staff comment.
Look for coat hook options in fall, as seating area gets crowded – reviewer suggestion.

Petra van Nuis’s light, gorgeous voice fills Evanston’s Local Note Jazz Club, where she and guitarist Andy Brown lead the quartet in two sets on Nov 14, 2026 at 7:30 pm and 9:30 pm.
