100 Commercial St, Portland, ME 6-9pm From January to June 2018, we'll have the trio at Solo every Thursday night! |
Bess Jacques & The Strays draw on a mix of vintage Americana, including beloved jazz standards from the American Songbook along with more modern, R&B-inspired tunes and Americana. The trio’s musical offerings range from lush ballads to hard-swinging to honky-tonk, from Louis Armstrong to Fats Domino to Tom Waits, and include beautiful originals, for a mix of sounds that is both classic and fresh. Bess Jacques leads the band on vocals and piano, joined by saxophone goddess Kate Campbell Strauss, and Portland’s revered Per Hanson on drums and harmonica.
