Contemporary audiences meet us with rave reviews!

Vine Katz brings out the glamour, romance and charm with their contemporary and classic songs like “They Can’t Take That Away From Me,” “ Your Are the Sunshine of My Life," and a healthy dose of Latin and Brazilian Grooves like “So Nice” and “Quizas, Quizas, Quizas,” all with Liz’s clear smooth strong voice.

Vine Katz performs in authentic swing style and blends in a few Western Swing and Latin songs to bring a fresh experience that delights audiences, young and old.
