Jane Ellen

I invited Jane Ellen to join my cabaret troupe — “Joseph Webb’s Jazz Era Revue” — for a performance at The Don Gibson Theatre in Shelby, NC, in October 2018. It was a variety show of music from 1940’s Broadway musicals. Jane was assigned several songs, all of which she performed beautifully. Her voice, to begin with, has a rich fullness to it, and she knows how to interpret a song. What is most special about her stage persona and performance, though, is that she has an electrifying range from sassiness to sweetness. The audience response to her was superb.

My hopes are to use Jane in future cabaret shows of Gershwin, Cole Porter, the songs of WWII, and various other Broadway collections, in addition to a special role in our annual Christmas show which raises enough food and money to help make the holidays brighter in many area homes. I definitely recommend Jane Ellen without reservation for any event at which a heart-felt performance of popular music is needed.
