Miss Tess + the Bon Ton Parade
Miss Tess is a New York City based songwriter and performing musician, who tours regularly with her band, as "Miss Tess & The Bon Ton Parade". In addition to Tess on her 1940s archtop guitar, the current lineup includes Raphael McGregor on lap steel, Danny Weller on upright bass, and Matt Meyer on drums. Encompassing styles of vintage jazz, blues, country, and folk, Miss Tess draws comparisons to artists such as Jolie Holland, Madeleine Peyroux, Regina Spektor, or Ella Fitzgerald, but maintains a style all of her own. "To classify this singer-songwriter as merely a jazz singer would miss the point she's a musical chameleon, recalling at various moments Tom Waits' barfly humor, the cabaret-rock of Beirut, or even the wink-wink wit of early Bette Midler." Holly Hughes, Blog Critics.
After nationally touring for the last four years, Miss Tess has just released her sixth album, The Waltz Set (EP). The album debuts five original waltzes and a waltz cover version of Skeeter Davis' hit song "End of the World" (1962). The compositions are airy and heartfelt descriptions of biycle rides, ferris wheels, and lost love. Hillary Hughes of Boston's Weekly Dig says "Miss Tess has made a name for herself with her light lilting and lovely crooning. Her most recent effort, The Waltz Set, offers all that audiences have come to love about the petite chanteuse: dreamy notes, vintage lullabies and exceptional musicianship."
