DOOZY JANE
Sunday, September 13 at 4:00pm

Doozy Jane is a quartet rooted in traditions of American harmony singing and swingy, fiddle-driven string bands. With intricate four-part treble vocals, they specialize in songs written by women and queer artists. Along with their original songs, they draw from a repertoire of often lesser-known but beautifully crafted covers that show their taste for the flavors of swing and gospel and an ear for the unconventional. Named in part for their arranger Anna Patton’s grandmother Jane who loved to sing the tricky inner harmonies of barbershop quartets, the quartet clearly shares a mutual love for “a doozy of a song.” Bass guitar, tenor guitar, twin fiddles, and clarinet round out their arrangements.

The musicians:

Anna Patton (vocals, clarinet, and tenor guitar) is a performer, singing leader, composer, and arranger. She directs two choruses in Brattleboro Vermont. The Soubrettes, under the umbrella of the Vermont Jazz Center and Brattleboro Harmonia (formerly the Brattleboro Women’s Chorus). Her soulful, swingy clarinet playing has been a feature of Zara Bode’s Little Big Band, the internationally touring dance band Elixir, and many other bands and recording projects.

Haley Anderson (vocals and bass guitar) grew up covering classic rock songs in the basement with her siblings. She got her musical start playing saxophone and singing in community choirs, eventually touring Europe and the US with Vermont’s Northern Harmony ensemble. Haley's path to bass guitar was less deliberate — during a Doozy Jane rehearsal, her bandmates held a vote while she was in the bathroom, and she emerged to find herself the band's new bassist. Away from the stage, she dabbles at earning a living in bookkeeping and graphic design.

Julia Read (vocals, violin, guitar) is a musician and performer living in Western Massachusetts. Her desire to sing in harmony led her to join The Soubrettes chorus, where she met the friends that would eventually become Doozy Jane. Julia has recorded three albums (https://juliaread.bandcamp.com/) and is in the process of making another. Locally, she has performed with The Royal Frog Ballet and Theatre Truck. She works as a speech and language pathologist with adults.

Sarah-Hadley Yakir (vocals, fiddle) is a hybrid player of classical violin and contemporary fiddle. She tours widely with her folk-trad band River Road, whose debut album Over The Moon will be released later this year. After joining Anna Patton’s Soubrettes, Sarah couldn’t get enough of the unique challenges and satisfying crunch of close harmony singing—enter Doozy Jane. Off stage, she likes to walk up big hills and hang out with her tuxedo cat.
