5-piece vintage jazz, swing, and blues band with powerhouse vocals

Jan Marie & The Mean Reds is a 5-piece band specializing in vintage and "new vintage" music spanning swing, blues, jazz, gospel, r&b, and soul. Led by frontwoman Jan Marie on lead vocals, the band comprises experienced jazz and blues musicians who blend genres to create an accessible dance floor experience. The Mean Reds' distinctive sound combines growling trumpet, upright bass, drums and washboard, piano, and occasionally Hammond B3 organ with Jan Marie's black coffee voice for a uniquely gritty yet saccharine musical texture. The band's repertoire and musical versatility aim to engage guests of all dancing abilities.
