Dame combines a freshness of approach with an unaffected fondness for the music she sings. The result is a clear-eyed approach to her material that remains accessible to a broad cross section of listeners, potentially enlarging the audience for jazz" -JAZZ IMPROV MAGAZINE "Dame has a clear and powerful voice along with the ability to improvise with subltety...an excellent scat singer...beautiful tone" -ALL MUSIC GUIDE "An artist who truly wants to sing and has dug deep down to do it.

CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Elaine was a delight to work with. Very talented and a joy to meet.
I would highly recommend her!

Elaine Dame and her group create memories. All of our friends and family are still talking about her performance and how much her group truly loves their art and performance. The music was beautiful. The performers professional and enjoyable to work with. We have become true fans and will make arrangements to see her play in public venues in the very near future. Can't praise her and thank her enough!

Elaine and her jazz group proved to be the perfect fit for my event. They played elegant and lively music and everyone said it was a real highlight.
Elaine will spend time with you before your event to make absilutely sure you get what you're looking for and if you have any samples of music you would like then don't be afraid to make a list as a guideline. They will easily add your favorites to their repetoire. They're often playing around Chicago (sometimes at The Drake hotel) so if you get the opportunity to hear them play somewhere I highly recommend it, whether you book them or not you'll have a fun time doing "research", as I did. Good luck.
