JAN PETERS has been a Napoleon Room favorite for over 20 years delivering Broadway and American Songbook favorites with “one of the most beautiful voices in the Boston cabaret scene today.” She was honored to be named Improper Bostonian Best Cabaret Act 2005, IRNE Award winner Best Female Cabaret Artist 2002 and Bay Windows Best Cabaret Performer 2002. Jan’s cabaret show “Old Fashioned, Please!” was named one of Boston’s Top Ten (Bay Windows 2000 Cabaret Year In Review).

Most recent performances include, Six Degrees of Sondheim, where Jan’s performance was hailed as “worth the price of admission”, and Jan Peters Sings Johnny Mercer performed to a SRO crowd. By invitation, Jan has performed at the famed Mabel Mercer Cabaret Convention multiple times, including Mabel Mercer’s 21st Anniversary Celebration at Lincoln Center in New York. Other performances include, “I Feel A Song Coming On” at The Cultural Center Theater in Port Charlotte, Florida, The Jazz On A Sunday Afternoon Performance Series in New Hampshire and Boston’s Riverside Theater Works Cabaret Festival.

In addition to her cabaret work, Jan performs throughout the country accompanied by ensembles ranging from intimate jazz groups to large swing orchestras and appears at many of Boston’s best nightclubs and hotels.

Her debut CD, “Somebody Come and Play” (2002), received rave reviews; “An excellent debut.” (Boston Herald); “…the classic torch singer…a voice like fine wine…it is glorious.” (John Amodeo, Cabaret Scenes, Bay Windows contributor). Her second CD, “You Started Something” was also released to glowing reviews, “Jan Peters has scored another great success performing material she was born to do.” Jordan Rich, WBZ Radio, Boston.

Jan created The Cabaret Spotlight Guest Artist Series to celebrate the piano bar experience where Jan happily got her start, giving budding cabaret performers the chance to strut their stuff! www.janpeters.com

JOSEPHINE MARY is a student at the Academy of Musical and Dramatic Arts in New York City and is determined to pursue her dream to make a living in musical theater. She is eternally grateful for those who have believed and encouraged her along the way.

Josephine was born into a musical family and at the age of 8 years old expressed a love of singing and performing. The day she heard the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack the trajectory of her life was changed forever as she decided to be the best singer she could be. Her parents were passionately supportive of her dreams and provided lessons in NYC with Rachael Eskanazi-Gold (Christine in Phantom on Broadways for many years), Dr. Brendan Ferrari with whom she studied how to adapt and use her voice in all genres of music and Natalia De Rezendes who taught her the techniques of Bel Canto.
