Connie Evingson

With an all-star band featuring some of Minnesota’s finest musicians - 
Dave Karr, saxophone/clarinet/flute • Phil Aaron, piano • Gordy Johnson, bass • Phil Hey, drums

One of the Twin Cities’ favorite vocalists, Connie can swing the standards with the best of them. And she can hold her own with a Beatles book. And she sounds great in a hot club/gypsy jazz setting. She has recorded CDs with all of these projects and more, and her newest, Little Did I Dream, finds her in familiar territory. A collection of songs by former St Paul native Dave Frishberg, Connie revisits his classics like “Peel Me A Grape” and “My Attorney Bernie” as well as shedding light on some lesser known tunes. She retains his inimitable cleverness in her phrasing, as well as letting her band shine.

She has “her own delicious sense of swing, silken phrasing and sense of adventure”
