A prolific jazz songwriter and vocalist, Leslie Vincent's lyrical creativity, rich alto tone, and magnetic stage presence have made her a standout in the Minnesota music scene. Her upcoming album of original music, Little Black Book, was featured in The Star Tribune as one of the Top Albums of The Year.

“On this collection of originals, she shows more depth and versatility than Laufey, the young jazzy vocalist of the moment.” - Jon Bream, Star Tribune “As much a storyteller as she is a jazz singer.” - DownBeat

Leslie Vincent (https://www.facebook.com/LeslieVincentMusic) is one of our favorites and we can't wait for the very first show @The 1919. Leslie is a special talent with her singing and song writing, but more importantly, she is a wonderful human being who lights up a room with her charm, wit, quirkiness, authenticity and heart. She is an old school jazz singer who easily and effortlessly translates to 2026...Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Shirley Horn would all be proud. With Leslie and her band taking the 'living room stage' @The 1919, you DO NOT want to miss this Christmas show. Trust me, you will be a Leslie fan for life! The 1919 will be dressed up in its Christmas glory and you are encouraged to come dressed up in your 'best/worst' Christmas outfit, so get those ugly sweaters out of the closet!

Traditionally, December is dominated by Christmas music...NOT ANYMORE! This very special performance showcases a variety of funky and soulful Hanukkah songs, including modern takes on Hanukkah classics, and all-new Hanukkah music written exclusively for the show.
