SUE GILES - JAZZ VOCAL ARTIST: HOME
WELCOME to the home of www.sugiles.com!
Armed with a full palette and range of vocal colors, Sue Giles swings, scats and woos with a lush, playful, sweet and heartfelt voice in the tradition of Ella, Sarah and Dinah. “She's a singer to watch: at turns girlishly effervescent and womanly soulful, but also an entertainer who reaches to grab the audience by the lapels and pull."
We are pleased to accept bookings for performance venues, concerts, and for private events both large and small. For information and quotes, please contact GILESJAZZ MANAGEMENT at (917) 763-4781 or via email to gilesjazz@yahoo.com. Click our CALENDAR DATES for upcoming LIVE PERFORMANCES.
