The Sean Nelson Jazz Orchestra has made The Side Door their home for monthly residency performances that have become one of the most anticipated events on our calendar. This May, they welcome a truly special guest: drummer Sherrie Maricle, one of the most accomplished and celebrated musicians in jazz today.

From behind the drum set, Sherrie leads the legendary DIVA Jazz Orchestra, her quintet Five Play, and co-leads the 3D Jazz Trio. A composer, arranger, educator, clinician, and guest conductor, she has performed at Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, and the Hollywood Bowl, and at jazz festivals across Germany, Switzerland, France, Portugal, Ireland, England, Croatia, Japan, Vietnam, Israel, and beyond. Sherrie and DIVA were featured at the 2017 NEA Jazz Masters Awards Ceremony and have appeared on CBS Sunday Morning, NBC’s Macy’s Fireworks Spectacular, and TCM’s televised broadcast of the Kennedy Center’s 25th Anniversary. The band also co-stars in the award-winning documentary The Girls in the Band.

The Side Door Jazz Club is a dedicated jazz listening room located inside the historic Old Lyme Inn, 85 Lyme Street, Old Lyme, CT. Tickets are reserved seating. Guests dining at the Old Lyme Inn restaurant prior to the show receive 10% off their dinner bill.
