The Santa Barbara Jazz Society is excited to host Jazz with Leigh Vance and Friends for the first time!
Leigh Demarche Vance’s dynamic voice has taken her across the country, singing jazz standards to R&B,pop and country. A naturally gifted vocalist, Leigh sang her first professional gig at age 6 and hasn’t looked back. She has worked professional theater, sung 1940s big band standards in Las Vegas with her two talented siblings (The Demarche Sisters) and brought the funk to Motown classics. She has also sung on numerous commercials. Her credits include gigs with Bob Hope, Donald O’Connor and The Tex Beneke Orchestra. Her heart belongs to jazz, interpreting Great American Songbook classics with a sultry style and wide vocal range. Leigh’s voice has graced the stages of the Ahmanson Theater, Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, The Granada and the Gallo Center for the Performing Arts.
She will be joined by Brad Rabuchin on guitar, Koji Ono on piano, Randy Tico on bass, and Kevin Winard on percussion.
Be sure to join us for this amazing show!
