Tammy and Jamey Whiting (known together as “The Whitings”) have performed their show at senior communities, theaters, and special events in 25 states. They play a unique combination of traditional, high-energy swing with scatting and singing in harmony and soulful blues-influenced jazz ballads. Tammy’s soulful voice, influenced by the female jazz royalty—Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, and Billie Holiday—has inspired audiences at every performance. Jamey’s prodigious piano style—reminiscent of the stride and left-hand walking bass lines characteristic of the early era of jazz, called “prowling bass”, and his Art Tatum-inspired right hand—is a distinguishing standout in their show. Together The Whitings present a show replete with soulful vocals, scatting with harmony, comedy, two-fisted piano and dance.
The Whitings present a musical event that mesmerizes audiences everywhere they perform!
