Gladys & Harry

With Gladys & Harry, you can expect an evening full of great music, incredible vocals, and great personality. They can sing the standards right out of the jazz age or "jazzify" your favorite pop hits! Ever thought you'd hear Britney Spears done in the style of a speakeasy?

Every set list can be customized in advance with requests! The standard performance includes one lead singer and one pianist/singer but this can also be customized to include bass, drums, or strings depending on the needs of the event!

Gladys & Harry is the new Jazz-inspired duo from On The Quays, an international production company based in NYC. Based on the music and feel of the Jazz Age, Gladys & Harry blend traditional jazz standards with speakeasy inspired pop songs. Set lists can be customized depending on the needs of the event. Gladys & Harry are the perfect addition to your intimate cocktail party, event, or holiday party. Gladys & Harry can be booked as a Classic duo model for more intimate spaces, or as a quartet including a drummer and a bassist — the Deluxe model.
