We hired Nancy to sing at our wedding and couldn't have been happier with how everything went. It was a small wedding with around 25 guests, and Nancy and her accompanist were fantastic. Her voice is beautiful and she is a great performer. She was extremely professional and easy to work with. We had a couple of specific songs we hoped she would be able to sing and she was happy to learn them for us. The rest of the songs she sang were from her usual repertoire and were perfect for the setting. She gave the wedding such a nice relaxed, intimate feeling. We are so happy that we chose Nancy for our wedding, and are looking forward to going to see her perform around Seattle in the future!

About
Nancy Erickson Lamont has been bringing her rich, melodic vocals to the Pacific Northwest Jazz scene for over 3 decades. Hailed as “one of our best contemporary singers – full of feeling, wit… and a thoroughly winning originality” (Michael Steinman – Jazz Lives), Nancy released her third solo CD “Nancy Erickson – Here & Now” in August 2018 featuring the 200 Trio (Greg Feingold, Cole Schuster, Max Holmberg) and Alex Dugdale. With influences like Nancy Wilson, Frank Sinatra, Dianne Reeves, and Peggy Lee, Nancy Erickson Lamont's rich, mellow alto voice has been compared to Karen Carpenter and Diana Krall.
Nancy began her career in the late 80’s singing in a NW jazz band called After Hours. Nancy recorded and co-produced a Christmas CD entitled "Urban Christmas" in 1993 under the group name, 'Xebec'. Taking a break to raise children, she returned to public performing singing backup with the Northwest R&B band Freddy Pink. Nancy also did some backup work with the band Nearly Dan (a Steely Dan tribute band) and Bernadette Bascom. In 2009 Nancy returned to her jazz roots; "I’d been singing other styles in various bands, but when I came back to jazz singing I remembered where my heart lies musically." Nancy won the Seattle Kobe Female Jazz Vocalist Competition in 2012. This resulted in performances in Kobe, Japan, including Asahi Hall which was also broadcast live online to over 5,000 viewers.
Nancy Erickson Lamont's passion for jazz music is demonstrated in her pin-drop ballads and the rapport she has with her band and the audience. Album releases include: 2011 “Prelude” 2016 “While Strolling Through the Park” and “Here & Now” 2018 (recorded live by KNKX jazz radio host Jim Wilke.)
