Ginger Leigh with Straight Up

Get ready for an unforgettable evening as Ginger Leigh with Straight Up brings an electrifying six-piece performance to Mozart's Coffee Roasters on Sunday, September 27.

While Straight Up is typically known as a high-energy nine-piece jazz variety band, this special performance features a powerhouse 6-piece lineup with Ginger Leigh, piano, upright bass, drums, and two horns, delivering a full, vibrant sound that is exciting, sophisticated, and undeniably entertaining.

An internationally touring recording artist with ten albums to her credit, Ginger Leigh is a sixth-generation professional musician whose career has taken her across the United States and Europe. While many know her for her original music and powerhouse soulful pop-rock vocals, this performance showcases another side of her artistry; jazz!

Imagine the commanding vocals of Adele, the playful wit and theatrical flair of Bette Midler, and the soulful, blues-infused spirit of Etta James, all wrapped into one magnetic performer. Ginger is an artistic chameleon whose jazz variety show is filled with world-class musicianship, infectious energy, unexpected humor, and captivating vocal tapestry.

From jazz standards and bluesy classics to soulful favorites and fresh interpretations of beloved songs, every performance is designed to surprise, delight, and keep audiences engaged from the first note to the final standing ovation.

If you love incredible vocals, exceptional musicians, and live entertainment that is polished, classy, and exhilarating, don't miss this special evening with Ginger Leigh with Straight Up.

When she's not playing with her 6-piece original contemporary pop rock band, she fronts Straight Up with a Ginger Twist, a jazz variety ensemble that she bills as "Bette Midler meets Etta James." That's a horn section, upright bass, drums, piano, and often guitar—which gives you a sense of the jazz side of her work. This show is Ginger Leigh's dream side project where she shape-shifts from rocker with her 6 piece band into a jazz chanteuse!
