Emme St. James, jazz singer ....

Jazz vocalist, jazz singer, cabaret performer, chanteuse – however you describe her, Emme St. James has been performing her sophisticated jazz styling for over a decade.  Based in Richmond, Virginia, Emme St. James has performed from New Orleans to New England, including regional favorites such as The Homestead, The Greenbrier, The Martha Washington Hotel, The Jefferson Hotel, and Keswick Hall.

As a young girl in southwest Virginia, Miss St. James spent countless hours singing and playing jazz standards at her parents’ piano while dreaming of one day becoming a jazz singer herself.  Today she is backed by top jazz musicians and her dream of being a jazz vocalist is a reality.  Combining classical training with the influences of Julie London, Doris Day and Peggy Lee, Miss St. James uses her velvet voice to create the sophisticated atmosphere of yesterday’s intimate cabarets.

Emme St. James and Her Jazz Gentlemen are pleased to announce the addition of the “Sultry and Swingin’ Cabaret Show” to their repertoire.  This hour-length production showcasing a six-piece group features favorites from the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s plus gorgeous costumes and memorable dialogue.  Emme St. James and Her Jazz Gentlemen were pleased to debut the show at the beautiful John’s Island Club in Vero Beach, FL. 

With the flexibility of performing as a duo up to a sextet, Emme St. James and Her Jazz Gentlemen can accommodate the needs of their discerning clients and create the sophisticated mood they desire. Experience the elegance, the glamour, the artistry of a singer that invites you to light the candles, pour the cocktails and relax to the sultry sounds of days gone by.
