Little Miss and the Boom

A Vintage Vibe for Modern Times

Little Miss and the Boom is inspired by the retro musical stylings of yesteryear.  Borrowing from swing, blues, jazz and rockabilly, the band blends old-time tones into a modern performance for all audiences.  Covering toe-tapping dancing ditties to soaring, breath-taking ballads, Little Miss and the Boom keeps the audience engaged and enraptured throughout the evening.  

The band features the glamorous Little Miss at center stage.  Classically trained in operatic, jazz and other styles, she brings her irreverence, wit, and seductive performance to every stage.

Not to be outdone, the band features the swagger of accomplished musicians.  Helmed by our Berkley-trained drummer, putting the swing into the beat, the band also features the steady groove of our experienced bassist.  Bringing color to the music is the guitarist with his vintage tones and the pianist with his effortless touch.

The retro vibe would not be complete without the dazzling horn section consisting of our very talented saxophonist and trumpeter tandem.
