Veronica Swift   

Often called the next Ella Fitzgerald, at age 25 Veronica Swift is now being recognized around the country as one of the top young jazz singers on the scene. Despite her young age, she boasts an impressive resume, including headlining at the Telluride Jazz Festival and appearing at Jazz Showcase, Monterey and Montreal Jazz festivals; two runs at Jazz at Lincoln Center; Shanghai, China; and Marians’ Jazz Showroom in Bern, Switzerland. Her style is unique and interesting as she presents her voice in a mature laid-back, easy-swinging jazz style à la Peggy Lee. She’s capable of fast swing as well as slow ballads and can tackle some of the most complicated music in jazz vocal repertory, including Annie Ross’ “Twisted,” Jon Hendricks’ “Four,” and other numbers made famous by Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross.
