“A skilled singer who is also an excellent songwriter…Ms. Erickson has an appealing tone, does
justice to lyrics and swings." – Scott Yanow, Los Angeles Jazz Scene
Award winning jazz vocalist and songwriter Nancy Erickson has been bringing her rich, melodic
vocals to the Pacific Northwest Jazz scene for over 3 decades. Hailed as “one of our best
contemporary singers – full of feeling, wit… and a thoroughly winning originality” (Michael
Steinman – Jazz Lives), Nancy has released 3 solo albums on her Vital Flame Productions label.
She has performed both internationally and throughout the Northwest. With influences like
Nancy Wilson, Frank Sinatra, Dianne Reeves, and Peggy Lee, Nancy Erickson’s rich, mellow alto
voice has been compared to Karen Carpenter yet her vocal range and smooth transitions from
mezzo soprano to contralto have become her trademark. Nancy’s passion for jazz music is
demonstrated in her pin-drop ballads and the rapport she has with her band and the audience.
Nancy teaches in the Snohomish school district and is a board member of Seattle Women in
Jazz.
