About Us
Refreshing and different is probably the best way to describe Jhil Quinn's Cafe vaudeville Band.
Jhil Quinn
Jhil was born in Dun Laoghaire to a family of Singers, Dancers and Musicians. Over the years Jhil has been honing her talent by appearing in plays, acting and singing and took the lead in musicals and theatre shows.She has preformed with some of Irelands best Known Musicians and has worked as a session singer with many bands, in studio she is known as a great harmony singer as well as a lead vocalist. She is also part of the highly successful sellout show 'Ladies in the Blues Show' which has toured nationwide for the last five years appearing at the renowned Glastonbury Festival in 2019. She also gained experience in the studio and has written and recorded numerous songs. She also was one of the Artists to perform on Shane Lynch's single for Charity "One more for the road". It was inevitable that she would one day form her own band to play the kind of music she has always loved... Jazz, Blues, Boogie, Soul and other forms of American Roots music with fun and integrity. And so was born "Jhil Quinn's Cafe Vaudeville band".
