| Paula Lammers Appears at the Harvest Festival Paula Lammers, currently embarked on a National press campaign to bring awareness to her debut release “Blanket of Blue.” Lammers is a classically trained vocalist that found her niche in jazz. Her blend of precision and beauty takes vocal jazz to new heights. A resident of Minnesota she comes from a lineage of strong performers. In the National market Lammers is making a strong statement. Her ability to turn a phrase with impeccable pitch and tone has brought her to the forefront in critics’ minds. Dan McClenaghan of All About Jazz describes Lammers, ”clarity of tone seems Lammers most distinguishing vocal characteristic, along with a seemingly effortless delivery. Her take on “Honeysuckle Rose” has a bouncy feeling, with pianist Peter Schimke opening up with a Waller-esque verve. Lammers' knowing take on this classic, especially her sly and sultry turn of phrase on “when I'm taking sips, from your tasty lips, seems the honey fairly drips, ” highlights the song's playfully salacious mood and just might send you off for a cold shower.” Join Lammers and her special guests, Mary Louise Knutson and Tom Lewis for a night of originality and depth as Lammers presents her debut release “Blanket of Blue.” Sprinkled with seasoned renditions of the classic standards, but do not come expecting the ordinary.
