Ginger and The Schnappes

Ginger and The Schnappes is a six piece jazz band that swings the great jazz standards. Their broad repertoire covers the great songs from 1920 to 2020 and includes Jazz, Pop, Latin, Blues, Motown and Rock. Their music is inviting, listenable and danceable.

Ginger’s vocals and the band's interpretation of ballads and torch songs make them an ideal cabaret-style/listening room band as well.  Their stage presence embodies the songs and creates a mood of relaxed elegance.    

You’ll hear tunes made famous by the great standards singers like Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, and the great composers like Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller. Mixed in with the standards are vibrant original songs by Mixon Brew Music and contemporary tunes from the likes of The Beatles, Johnny Cash, and The Eurythmics all played in a poppy-jazz style with unique rhythms and melodic features.  They rock some serious Blues, too. 

Ginger and The Schnappes downsizes to a quartet, trio or duo when the situation calls for a smaller band yet still delivers on the promise of great tunes, expertly played. 

The band performs at many public and private events.  They are the go-to band for several non-profits' fundraising galas (JAACF.org, America On Wheels, Lehigh County Humane Society) and are seen regularly at ArtsQuest - a premier arts center in the Lehigh Valley.  In 2020, they were one of the few local bands featured at the virtual version of Musikfest in Bethlehem, PA - USA Today's #1 music festival in the U.S. for 2019 and 2020.  They have appeared on WFMZ's morning show, Musikfest 2021, and throughout the Lehigh Valley.
