Jacqueline Tabor performing with her band

Jacqueline Tabor

Jazz, blues, and swing from the “Seattle Chanteuse” — four-time Earshot Jazz Vocalist of the Year.

Jacqueline Tabor is one of Seattle's most celebrated jazz, blues, and swing vocalists. She has won Earshot Jazz Vocalist of the Year four times and was recently inducted into the Earshot Jazz Hall of Fame.

What makes a Jacqueline Tabor performance memorable is not just the resume — it's the way her voice can quiet a crowd, even in a busy summer park. Her depth of skill, emotional range, and honesty pull every listener in, whether you came for the jazz or wandered over from the playground. Backed by her band, August 18 is the kind of evening worth bringing a blanket for.
