By way of the U.K. and her residency at the Kranzberg Arts Foundation in St. Louis, international jazz artist, bassist, songwriter, and vocalist Jane Evra will make a special first-time appearance in Buffalo on Saturday, October 2nd of 2021.

Evra performs on premier international stages across the USA and Europe.  She has collaborated with Grammy winners, Grammy nominees, and international jazz superstars including Randy Brecker, Taylor Eigsti, Chad Lefkowitz-Brown, Eric Marienthal, and Diego Figueiredo.  Evra sings in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French.  She is known for her intoxicating interpretations of French jazz and Brazilian-influenced repertoire of traditional bossa nova, samba, and Latin jazz.  All with an indie twist.

“Janet Evra’s unique mix of modern beach-pop with traditional bossa nova, samba and Latin jazz has made her a favorite on stages from St. Louis to Europe.”  Riverfront Times

In 2018 Evra released her debut album “Ask Her to Dance” to worldwide critical acclaim, showcasing her original music and signature style.  In 2020 Evra signed with Lotown Records and in 2021 she released her second album “Janet Evra & Ptah Williams: New Friends, Old Favorites”, recorded live at The Sheldon.

“Each player is in top form, while Evra’s every vocal phrase seems to be punctuated with a smile.”   All About Jazz

Evra’s music is played internationally on hundreds of AM/FM/satellite radio programs based in the USA, UK, France, India, and New Zealand.  Her signature style of French jazz, Brazilian bossa nova and samba, and jazz beach-pop have made her music a favorite on playlists across the globe.

“Janet’s sensuous voice draws me in like warm butter draws into a steamy English muffin.” GESSO Magazine
