Chantil Dukart

Armed with laughter, songs, and storytelling, Chantil returns to Cortez Colorado to bring soul, blues and jazz and original music to the wonderful community curated by the Southwest Colorado Canyons Alliance.

Chantil and the Dukes of Arts hit the streets of North Denver and throw down at the local watering hole with a mix of jazz, soul, r&B and funk music.

Timucua Indigenous Culture Festival/Folk: Although the modern jazz conversation focuses more on instrumentals and instrumentalists, the great American songbook was written by not only great players, but people who write lyrics and tell a story.

Chantil is a unique breed of musician, not only is she a great improvisor and pianist, but she has stories that are shared through her lyrics, and her deep emotional connection to the music.

Chantil Dukart is an award-winning contemporary jazz pianist and vocalist with roots in the Tsimshian and Sugpiaq tribes of Alaska. Dukart has performed with leading voices in contemporary music, including Esperanza Spalding, Nikki Glaspie (Beyoncé, Dumpstaphunk), Michael Pilot (Hamilton) and Guggenheim fellow Nicholas Galanin at notable venues including the Kennedy Center, The Smithsonian, Kuumbwa Jazz Center and the Mary Lou Williams Jazz Festival.
