She is able to perform as a duo, trio, quartet, quintet & sextet.

Price Range: $1200-6000
Gig Length: 180 - 240 minutes
Ms. Tanner is a fabulous live performer and her audiences love the fact that she can swing it, and she can bring it… Both as a vocalist and a trumpet player, she entertains her fans with her original music – but she can just as easily channel Miles, Ella or a sizzling version of "At Last," ala Etta James.
Ms. Tanner's 2005 release, Those That Lie in Between (Darwin Records), was on the voting list for Grammy ballot consideration in seven categories, including Best Jazz Vocal Album and Best instrumental Solo (December, 2005).
"The thing I enjoy most about recording with Jeannie is that her music embraces both classic and contemporary feels with equal purity. I think Jeannie is one of the most sincere and talented artists to emerge from the Chicago music community."
Matt Walker, Drummer/Smashing Pumpkins, Cupcakes,
Garbage & Billy Corgan
"Jeannie Tanner is an amazing vocalist, composer and instrumentalist. She is so successful in each category and when you roll all three into one artist, she is an absolute powerhouse. Her original songs are soulful and sultry and her vocal style ranges from airy and light, to searing blues...

Ms. Tanner's 2005 release, Those That Lie in Between (Darwin Records), was on the voting list for Grammy ballot consideration in seven categories, including
Best Jazz Vocal Album and Best instrumental Solo (December, 2005).
Those That Lie in Between has been described as a better mix of Norah Jones and Sade, with a hint of Diana Krall's sexy phrasing… but Ms. Tanner also plays trumpet. She wrote all of the music and performed all of the vocals. The c.d. features some of the best musicians in the industry including Matt Walker, Ryan Cohan and Lisa McQueen.
"Her music is sexy and well-written; her voice is beautiful and pure; and her trumpet stylings are smooth and melodic. Her star is definitely on the rise."
Joseph Campo, Film Director / Reconstellation (L.A.) September, 2005
"The thing I enjoy most about recording with Jeannie is that her music embraces both classic and contemporary feels with equal purity. Her songs feel effortless, and her voice rides on whichever musical wave she chooses. I don't find myself trying to place her in any specific genre, and as a drummer and fellow composer that is quite refreshing. I think Jeannie is one of the most sincere and talented artists to emerge from the Chicago music community."

Lisa McQueen, Musical Director/Chicago Shakespeare, The Second City, The Annoyance Theater, Northlight Theater, Boom Chicago (Amsterdam) & Second City National Touring Company
"I love that Jeannie plays trumpet. You don't see many female horn players and she has such a smooth and melodic feel to her performances. Her voice is rich and strong, yet her dynamic nuances are so warm. Jeannie is such a pleasure to listen to, whether I'm catching her live show or when I'm enjoying her c.d.s."
