Erin McDougald, The Flapper Girl

McDougald is a savvy, rhythmically jazz-rooted song-interpreter, who frequently records and performs with top instrumentalists among the jazz-elite from Chicago to the East Coast. Her ensemble-size varies from a duo to a big band orchestra, depending on the venue, but most typically, she incorporates the use of a rhythm section and often features a horn player. "You hear the magic... it comes from [her] heart, that's what makes it sound so beautiful; its truth" -Tom Harrell
