With rave reviews from her shows at the Blue Note Milano, the Elgar Room of the Royal Albert Hall and the European Jazz Expo, Kai Hoffman is a rising international star, and has been compared to legends like Judy Garland, Peggy Lee, and Sarah Vaughan. A resident performer at Europe’s oldest jazz club, Ronnie Scott’s, for over six years, “Kai is the whole package from head to toe”, according to Jazzwise Magazine, with her mixture of vintage jazz, cabaret and original material.
 
Kai Hoffman is bringing her “Do It While You Can” show to New York City for the very first time, joined by the fantastic rhythm section of Tedd Firth, piano (Michael Feinstein, Marilyn Maye), Tom Hubbard, double bass, (Liza Minnelli, Sheila Jordan), and Daniel Glass, drums (Brian Setzer, Bette Midler).

With “Do It While You Can”, Kai takes her listeners on an intimate and sometimes cheeky journey through lovers, litigation and loss ­whilst proving that contagious laughter really is the best medicine. “A high­-energy performer with much individuality in her approach … using the richness of her voice to great effect, and also displaying fine pitch and great phrasing. [Kai is] one of the finest vocalists and performers around on the scene today.” (Ray Gelato, for London Jazz Blog).
 
On a preliminary visit to New York earlier this year, Kai Hoffman received a rousing Manhattan welcome. Specially invited to sing at the legendary Birdland Jazz Club with David Ostwald’s Louis Armstrong Eternity Band, Kai was also graciously asked to sing with Grammy-award-winning Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks.  Jim Caruso, long-standing host of Birdland’s world-famous Cast Party, also raved about Kai’s performance, saying “[Kai is]..a TRUE entertainer, and we don't see so many of those anymore! A nuvo-vaudvillian!!"
 
Specially selected for sponsorship by award-winning vintage fashion brand Vivien of Holloway (www.vivienofholloway.com), Kai always looks like she’s just walked out of a 1950s Hollywood glamour shot. Originally from Boston, Mass., Kai has made her home in London, UK, for over ten years - and has grown to love a cup of tea!
 
Kai Hoffman’s “Do It While You Can” show is a masterful showcase from 'The Queen of Swing!’ (Ian Shaw, BBC Presenter) and leaves her audience full of “...an insatiable joie de vivre rare in these cynical times" (Stephen Graham, Marlbank). Full of exhuberant charm, Kai’s catchy original tunes and fabulous favourites are a winning combination - a perfect start to the Thanksgiving holiday season!
 
“Do It While You Can” is Kai’s third studio album, and her first album of solo material. Her previous releases are: “Hey Boy! Hey Girl!” with Ray Gelato and the Giants in 2011, and “Jump Jive and Swing” with her band Kai’s Cats in 2010.

The album Do It While You Can is available to purchase on iTunes and Amazon UK, or directly via the website www.kaihoffman.co.uk with international shipping available.
