Elise Roth

American chanteuse Elise Roth cut her teeth listening to classic recordings of the Andrews Sisters, Artie Shaw, and Glenn Miller, idolising the vocalists of the Big Band Era. Freshly arrived from the United States, she has spent the past 6 years honing her craft, singing with 18-piece Big Bands and 1920s style Jazz Orchestras — and some medium and small bands, too. Audiences who have seen her perform know that every detail is pitch-perfect, and her classic presentation is second only to her repertoire of music ranging from the 1920s Jazz Age through the 1950s. She is often compared vocally to Helen Forrest, Rosemary Clooney, and especially Judy Garland. Most recently, she has been proud to debut her own band, Elise Roth & Her Harvard Squares at several dance events and vintage parties, and notably in February 2019 at the Cicada Club in Downtown Los Angeles.
