Based in the Bay Area, The Connie Doolan Quartet features four veteran musicians who artfully blur the boundaries of folk music and jazz, resulting in an intelligent and sensitive connection of the two genres. Their unique sound, characterized by strong vocals, and witty instrumentation and arranging, is at once mature, emotionally aware, and elegantly sexy, whether the band is performing a sultry standard from the Great American Songbook or providing a fresh take on an ancient Irish ballad. Join them tonight to celebrate the release of their new CD, Haunt Your Heart.

The quartet is led by vocalist Connie Doolan, who has been singing professionally since 1980 in numerous styles including musical theater, cabaret, swing/jazz, opera, and folk. The group also features Julian Smedley on violin and viola, guitarist Mike Wollenberg, and Steven Strauss on string bass and ukulele.
