From Gloucester, England, Janet Evra is a vocalist, bassist, composer, and songwriter based in St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
Evra blends traditional bossa nova, samba, and latin jazz with modern influences and an indie twist to produce fresh, lush, original music. Evra sings in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French.
Evra performs on premier stages across the USA and Europe. In 2019 Evra performed at The Deva Jazz Festival in Romania and at Sofar shows in Uppsala, Sweden and Zurich, Switzerland. A 2019-2020 Artist in Residence at the Kranzberg Arts Foundation in St. Louis, Evra performs monthly at The Dark Room and regularly on St. Louis stages including The Grandel, The Sheldon, The .ZACK Theater, The National Blues Museum, and Old Rock House. Evra performs annually at the St. Louis Art Fair and Edwardsville Art Fair.
Evra released her debut album Ask Her to Dance to critical acclaim in 2018. Joining Evra are Adam Maness on piano, Will Buchanan on guitar, and Montez Coleman on drums, among others. The album is played on St. Louis radio stations 88.1 KDHX, 88.7 The Sound, and 90.7 St. Louis Public Radio.

The Atticus Lazenby Group formed in Chicago in 2014 as a performance vehicle for bassist/composer Atticus Lazenby’s compositions, through which it has since been exploring the points of intersection where jazz, funk, rock, hip-hop, and world music meet. The sound of the ALGroup layers horn-borne melodies and improvisational volleys over interlocking guitar and keyboard textures and a grooving foundation of bass, drums, and percussion. The ALGroup has performed around Chicago and shared the stage with local and nationally touring acts, including Dynamo and Fat Night. In July 2016, they released their self-titled debut album on Bandcamp and Spotify. They are currently working on material for a forthcoming second album.
The Atticus Lazenby Group consists of:
Atticus Lazenby - bass, compositions
Chad McCullough - trumpet
Hayden Ashley - synthesizer
Sam Hasting - guitar
Colin Drozdoff - wurlitzer
Nick Kabat - drums
