EUGENIE JONES
Eugenie Jones is an award-winning American Jazz singer/songwriter, producer, and legacy activist. Born and raised in Morgantown, West Virginia, Jones grew up with four sisters and three brothers. Her father, Eugene, was the choir director at the family’s church, and her mother, Tommie Lee, was the choir’s lead soprano. Jones grew up listening to her mother’s voice, perpetually singing around the house and at local community events. However, in these early years, Jones possessed no latent desire to follow in her mother’s footsteps. She grew up, earned her MBA, and eventually made her home in Seattle, entering the business world as a nonprofit marketing communications expert working in housing for the homeless advocacy.
Her singing career began late in life after the death of her mother in 2008. “Beyond my grief, I felt a void that I later recognized as missing the sound of my mother singing. Seeking solace and a positive way forward, I wondered if I could carry on that part of her.” That speculation led Jones to the Seattle jazz scene and ultimately to pursue something she had never imagined – a career in music. On her independent label, Open Mic Records, Jones has successfully produced three award-winning recording projects comprised primarily of her original material. She has recorded more than 30 original songs and is characterized as a “cleverly gifted lyricist.” Her projects have resulted in her winning the Pacific NW Earshot Jazz Vocalist of the Year and Recording of the Year Golden Ear awards.

AUDREY SILVER TRIO
Audrey Silver’s voice is like pure sterling. Her phrasing is exquisite, her clarity and enunciation on par with the great Jo Stafford and her breath control is a talent so often, and so wrongfully overlooked rivals Sinatra’s. She honed her craft through private study with singers Shelia Jordan and Mark Murphy. She has worked with pianist Bruce Barth, trumpeter Marcus Printup, upright bassist Paul Beaudry, drummer Anthony Pinciotti, vibraphonist Tom Beckham and guitarist Gary Ciprut.
