Elijah Hartman is a powerhouse vocalist who brings a youthful revival of jazz standards sung in the '20s, '30s, '40s, '50s, and '60s. Elijah is a vocalist first and maintains the melody while interpreting the melody line after it has been established. Elijah is also a wonderfully talented scat singer; he takes inspiration from the bebop era of jazz and has hints of Della Reese, Judy Garland, Shirley Horn, and Sarah Vaughan. While Elijah loves to sing his high notes, he also has a wonderfully warm lower range that has been compared to Nat King Cole, Mel Tormé, and Tony Bennett.
Harry Mayronne (pianist, composer) was Musical Director/Arranger at the National WWII Museum's Stage Door Canteen, for Billie and Ella, as well as Anaïs St. John's Josephine Baker show. His restaurant music comedyWaiting Around--the Restaurant Musical, for which he composed the score, with book and lyrics by Ricky Graham, ran for three years in New Orleans at le chat noir. Harry was co-producer of an off-Broadway production, which played at the Laurie Beechman Theatre.The show also had two special performances at the Greenbrier. Harry will be appearing at the 2025 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival with Chloe Marie.
