Laura Anglade Quartet

Laura Anglade Quartet

Sat, Nov 14

“Laura has studied all the great vocal stylists of the last century. And yet she imitates no one. Her pure tone, sparing use of vibrato, and total lack of affectation are almost startling when you first hear her, because you feel that no singer has ever been so absolutely honest with you.”

Laura Anglade - Vocals

Ben Rosenblum - Piano

Jonathan Chapman - Bass

Ben Zweig - Drums


Juno Award-winning jazz chanteuse Laura Anglade is from the village of Brousse-le-Château in southern France, though she grew up in the US and spent several years living in Canada. Laura’s performances reflect her roots: rich in simplicity, an appreciation for the past, and a sense of wonder in ordinary moments. Laura brings clarity and depth to interpretations shaped by the legendary voices of Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Shirley Horn, Carmen McRae, Michel Legrand and Barbra Streisand, among others. Her 2022 release, Venez Donc Chez Moi, earned a Juno nomination, and in 2023 she was awarded the Prix Opus for Jazz Concert of the Year.


An international touring artist, Laura has headlined jazz festivals across the US, Canada, Mexico, the UK, and Europe, captivating audiences through her innate storytelling. Her conversational style bridges the gap between singer and listener, making each performance intimate and personal. Her artistry has brought her to renowned stages including Paris L’ Olympia, London’s Royal Festival Hall, New York's Town Hall, and a regular at the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal. She has also toured in support of acclaimed artists like Melody Gardot and Gregory Porter.


Laura’s third album, Get Out of Town (Nettwerk Music Group), was released on May 23, 2025, to tremendous praise, and her audience has grown exponentially. Laura was featured on Stephen Colbert's “Late Show Me Music” series, where she performed her version of the beloved Rodgers & Hart standard, “Manhattan”. She was recently featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show, where she performed “You Turned The Tables On Me,” and made a cameo in HBO’s IT: Welcome to Derry.


Laura looks forward to releasing a new Nettwerk Music album in November 2026.

Mandy Gaines and Brad Myers

Thu, Nov 19

Mandy Gaines — vocalist, Brad Myers — guitar


Mandy Gaines began singing at an early age in school and church. She holds a B.A. from the College of Wooster in Speech/Arts. She has continued her studies through private vocal instruction and workshops emphasizing oral interpretation, jazz improvisation, vocal technique, theatre, and broadcasting/media studies.


Brad Myers, as a guitarist, he is known to be a musical shape shifter, of sorts, moving between gigs accompanying Mandy Gaines, swinging with the Cincinnati Contemporary Jazz Orchestra, getting funky with Steve Schmidt’s Organ Trio and John Zappa’s Now Hear This, or deep musical conversations with Michael Sharfe and an array of Cincinnati’s best drummers in the Sanguinaria Trio. He also is part of Tinfoil Hat Cowboys: A Country Western Conspiracy, Aja: a Tribute to the Music of Steely Dan, Joe’s Truck Stop, The Hiders, and Ray’s Music Exchange. He also teaches at UC’s College Conservatory of Music and the CCM Prep Jazz Department."
