Laura Ellis

The darling of San Francisco’s Noir City Film Festival, sultry and sizzling singer Laura Ellis brings her velvety voice and spicing styling to her Feinstein’s at the Nikko debut with her show Jazz in the Shadows-The Songs of Film Noir featuring classic, contemporary and rarely heard musical gems from the black and white movies of the 40s and 50s.

Born and raised in the great jazz town of Kansas City, Laura resides in Southern California and criss-crosses the nation starring in theatre productions of musical nostalgia: Film Noir to stage show, Femme Fatale, the sassy Cinema Sweethearts and early Rock and Roll romp Kit and the Kats-Remember When?

Alan Paul of The Manhattan Transfer produced her first CD “Here Lies Love” and called Laura “the consummate performer whose command of the stage is truly mesmerizing to an audience.” Laura’s ode to Film Noir, “Femme Fatale” followed.
