Ladies Night Out

LADIES’ NIGHT OUT, a female vocal jazz group,has charmed audiences for years with their distinctive blend of sweet harmonies and swinging rhythms. Inspired by the Boswell Sisters and Andrews Sisters, they have put their own mark on the art of group singing. The Ladies combine vintage jazz standards with blues, gospel, pop, and a touch of doowop thrown in for fun, for a lively show where the Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy meets the Boy from New York City, where Stars Fall On Alabama, and where everyone gets In The Mood.

When they first started out, the Ladies sang as an a cappella group. Before long, they decided to work with instruments, and now perform with Birmingham area jazz musician Ray Reach. They’ve shared the stage with other local jazz greats, including Cleve Eaton, Bo Berry, Chris Griffin, and the UAB Superjazz Band. They have appeared at City Stages, Birmingham Jazz Fest, and Birmingham Heritage Festival, as well as numerous charity events, private parties, and local nightclubs. A particularly exciting event was their opening for the New Age group Shadowfax.

What began as a “ladies’ night out” among friends has grown into an exceptional musical ensemble. The Ladies’ interests may be rooted in jazz, but their sound includes classical, doowop, and pop influences with equal creativity and authenticity. Whether singing on the big stage or in more intimate settings, their show is sure to please young and old.
