ANNETTE ST. JOHN

Thu, Feb 13

Annette St. John takes the microphone and captivates. Subtle shades of Sarah, a hint of Ella, but with a style and sparkle that’s uniquely her own, Annette’s extensive repertoire includes jazz standards, ballads and the blues. Personable, vivacious, she creates instant rapport, sings to your heart, and speaks to your soul. Annette St. John says, “I’m a native New Yorker born and raised in Harlem.” Now she lives in Mount Vernon. I consider myself a natural singer. I didn’t go to school to learn how to sing. I like to keep myself and my music fresh.” St. John’s talents have earned her stints at famous clubs such as Sweetwaters, The Blue Note, The Cotton Club, The Apollo Theater, The Village Vanguard, Londell’s, Tavern on the Green, Showman’s, Birdland, The Europa Club, The Sugar Bar, Cajun and the American Legion in Harlem. Annette has worked with musicians and vocalists the likes of Della Griffin, Lonnie Youngblood, Irene Reed, Fred Staton, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Seleno Clark, Nate Lucas, the late great Etta Jones, Doc Pittman and Jimmy Butts.
