This newly formed quartet is not new to the scene having played together for ten years in various projects including “Cadillac Moon” and “Honey Suckle Rose".
They have been collaborating for months and have recently fined tuned their ideas into their own interpretations of several artists of both the Blues and Jazz genres.
Vocalist Leslie Zimei has worked as a performer from the age of fourteen years old, fronting bands on Long Island including the Rainy Days, Calamity Jane, Old Shoes, and Pearly, singing everything from Blues to Standards with her own brand of sultriness and raw energy. Leslie has opened for Peggy Lee, Manhattan Transfer and Petula Clark at the Empire Room, Julio Inglesias at the Essex House in New York and Impressionist Fred Travelina on Long Island and has lent her background vocal expertise to artists Ben E. King and Bo Diddley’s recordings. She also co-wrote "Miss Crabtree" (from the CD "Plug Me In") with members of Cadillac Moon in 1995 and then joined the band in 1999 performing with them for 9 yrs. Performances include the New York Islanders Championship parties, C.W. Post Tilles Center, Riverhead Blues Festival, Atlanta Blues Festival, Vail Levitt Hall with Jackie Martling, Westhampton Theatre, Dylan Tribute Concert at IMAC and The Long Island Winterfest Jazz Festival.
