Tight, lush vocal jazz harmonies, clever arrangements, and an actor’s sensibility characterize Grammy-nominated Marquee Five, the collaboration of singers Mick Bleyer, Adam West Hemming, Vanessa Parvin, Sierra Rein, and Julie Reyburn.
The group Times Square Chronicles called, “The Manhattan Transfer for the new millennium,” teams up with a jazz duo in Back Porch Swing. Marquee Five brings a sassy, intelligent flair to your favorite standards, including greats like Duke Ellington, Irving Berlin, Stephen Sondheim, Kander & Ebb, and more. Piano by Dan Pardo and bass by Matt Scharfglass support big band five-part harmony vocals that will touch your heart.
Marquee Five debuted in New York City in 2009 and won the 2010 MAC Award for their first show, “We Can Make It: The Songs of Kander and Ebb.” In the years since, the group has developed four more show programs, recorded a debut CD, “8-Track Throwback: Singer/Songwriter Hits of the 60s & 70s,” and appeared at a variety of venues across the U.S. Marquee Five is featured on the Grammy-nominated “Sondheim Unplugged: The NYC Sessions” album series.
