"What's Hot? Fleur Seule! With a love for jazz, swing, and foreign languages, vocalist/bandleader Allyson Briggs delivers a performance in numerous languages, and is being hailed as “A female Frank Sinatra.” With looks like Marilyn Monroe, a warm presence that makes you feel as if her seductive voice has lured you back to the 40′s, and a vocal range that is impressively over 4 octaves, this song bird and her band are sure to please..."

"Row NYC might be the latest addition to Times Square, but its downstairs cocktail lounge is a respite from the madness. Revelers can recline in leather banquettes and listen to the vintage jazz band Fleur Seule croon 1930s-era swing tunes in Italian, Portuguese, French, German, and Spanish."

Allyson Briggs is the Songbird and Bandleader of Fleur Seule. Raised on a healthy diet of Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Duke Ellington, she has pursued her love of the good 'ol music in the heart of Manhattan. When she found a few old souls that had the chops to dig it, a band was formed. It was an instant understanding and appreciation of the classic repertoire so rarely heard nowadays, and an immediate call to action: To refresh and share this splendid music with future generations. Fleur Seule consists of Allyson Briggs (Vocals, Bandleader), Jake Kenowitz (Trumpet), Adam Smale (Guitar), Sam Weber (Bass), and John Hubbell (Drums). Together, they are taking Manhattan by storm and reigniting the passion that kept the Big Band Era swinging!
We are a self-contained, reputable, fully insured band with a great track record playing in high end hotels, weddings, and private events, and we cater to international clientele.
