The Vintage Vixens are a retro jazz vocal trio. Not simply an imitation of any other group, they perform original jazz songs, and fresh new covers of jazz standards and modern songs. They perform with a live jazz combo, and their influences derive from 40’s swing, gypsy jazz, bossa nova and Latin jazz. They’ll add some sass to your step! Their debut album “Every Night We’re Singing” is available on iTunes, Amazon, and many other music platforms.
