Pink Martini

Now in its 31st year, the unstoppable engine of joy that is Pink Martini continues to bring founder Thomas Lauderdale’s mission of multicultural connection and inclusion to concert stages on six continents.  Presenting a mélange of catchy old-fashioned pop, global color, foot-tapping big band sound, and Hollywood glamour, Oregon’s most famous “little orchestra” performs music intended to appeal to everyone, regardless of age or background.  Performing with a number of iconic voices including the band’s first lead singer China Forbes, the inimitable Storm Large, NPR’s dashing Ari Shapiro, the soulful Edna Vazquez, America’s Got Talent finalist Jimmie Herrod, fan favorite Timothy Nishimoto, and international singing sensation Meow Meow, Pink Martini has played on legendary concert stages around the world, including the Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall, the Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall in London, and Bercy Arena in Paris.  They’ve released over a dozen albums on their in-house label Heinz Records, including the newest EP, Bella ciao, featuring the anti-fascist title song sung by Storm Large.

“This is rich, hugely approachable music, utterly cosmopolitan yet utterly unpretentious.  And it seems to speak to just about everybody … from grade-schoolers to grandmothers to the young and hip and beautiful.” – The Washington Post
