Laura Ellis channels the sirens of the silver screen in her new cabaret-style show, Temptation.
Protégé of The Manhattan Transfer's
Alan Paul, Laura Ellis evokes the ladies of the movies, who sang of love, loss, and life's unpredictable outcomes.
With her rich, warm voice that "harkens to mind the classic jazz greats of old" (Jazz Ambassador Magazine), a ready wit, and a true command of vintage song styling,
Laura Ellis delivers a delightful evening of music made great by the memorable leading ladies of film - Rita Hayworth,
Jane Russell, Marilyn Monroe, and others.
For the concert hall or cabaret stage. Optional film component.
"Laura Ellis has an exceptional talent.
Her voice has a soothing warmth
likened to an alto flute ..."
Alan Paul, The Manhattan Transfer
"Laura was a delight! Her winning personality came across just as much as her beautiful voice. The song selections were perfect and delivered with just the right mix of sultry seduction and playfulness … I’m already getting requests to have her back."
Christian P. Wolf,
