Called a “jazz dynamo” and “a gem in the city's vocal jazz scene" by Time Out Chicago, Elaine
Dame has been capturing attention at venerable jazz venues from coast to coast, including the
Chicago Jazz Festival, the Rainbow Room and 54 Below in NYC, and Herb Alpert's Vibrato
Jazz Grill in LA. It’s the joy she exudes with every note that makes Elaine’s performances
unforgettable. A graduate of The Theater Repertory Program at California State Northridge,
Elaine worked for years in Chicago’s theater scene before turning her focus to jazz.
"Dame has risen to the top ranks of Chicago jazz singers. She possesses all the musicality you could
want in a true jazz singer – centered intonation, an enviable command of rhythm, and a translucent but
powerful instrument." ~ Neil Tesser, Grammy award-winning critic and author, The Playboy Guide to Jazz
Accompanying Dame is Chicago jazz guitarist Andy Brown, who has worked at many of the
city’s finest jazz venues and continues to play weekly solo performances at The Green Mill and
lead his quartet at Andy’s Jazz Club. He counts Barbra Streisand’s 2009 appearance on the
Oprah Winfrey Show among the many high-profile singers he has accompanied.
