A Fresh Take on New York Jazz and Blues

A new-breed jazz and blues vocalist, John Minnock first gained popularity in Boston and is now a regular performer at the Metropolitan Room. An audience favorite rapidly building a large New York following, John combines great originality, musicality and showmanship with clever wit and irreverent comedy, presenting a high-energy and entertaining evening of jazz, blues, funk and R&B.


 
“Like the best Irish coffee, Minnock’s voice is smooth and bold, with a good dose of Bushmills to give it a smoldering kick…stellar chops…creative phrasing; impressive scatting” (Kevin Scott Hall, Bistro Awards) 
A classically trained musician, John’s vocalizing recalls the likes of Billy Eckstein, George Benson and B.B. King. He often branches out into jazz improvisations and scat singing, and adds interesting stories and facts about each the music. His wide repertoire of song renditions spans classic artists like King, Ruth Brown and Bill Withers to contemporaries such as Sara Bareilles, Amy Winehouse and Sam Smith.  
“One of the best versions of ‘On Broadway’ I’ve ever heard.” (Bistro Awards) 
 
John leads a trio of accomplished musicians and keeps the energy moving throughout the evening. Before bringing his show to NYC, John performed weekly at Boston’s Encore Lounge, in one of the most successful jazz gigs in Boston. The show was chosen as a “Featured Event” by The Boston Globe several times during its run. Previously, John performed in the group “Feed the Meter” and in performances at Acton Jazz Café. Born and raised in Albany, he has a degree in music from Boston University. 
 
“…an impressive vocalist, obviously well trained and practiced in his chosen fields of study.” (Bistro Awards) 
 
Don’t miss this great evening of entertainment!
