“Jan Peters is a powerhouse performer….”, Cabaret Hotline, New York
“Nights out don’t get much better……with Jan Peters at the helm steering us toward Nirvana with her clarion vocals …..”, John Amodeo, Cabaret Critic

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

A lifelong performer, Tracey earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre from The Hartt School and has trained extensively under such greats as Broadway legends Faith Prince, David Friedman and Cabaret Stars Marilyn Maye and Boston’s own John O’Neil. Tracey has performed one woman shows in New York, Provincetown, Florida and St. Louis, but Boston is where she loves to perform most of all. Carla Gordon of Cabaret Scenes Magazine raves, “Tracey O’Farrell’s voice is beautiful, but her heart is even more so. You will want to hear more.” From theater critic Nick Dussault: “Tracey O’Farrell is anything but another pretty girl with a pretty voice. She brings the true highs and lows of her life into her singing, there’s an authenticity to her voice that’ll touch your own soul.”

Tracey is also a mother of three, wife and a nurse.
