I am representing this fun and fantastic Jazz trio, Cool Lemon Jazz, a band who have conquered their hometown of Midland, MI and are now
looking to expand their horizons and perform at festivals, concert halls, and
anywhere else they can bring a little pep to people’s lives.
Cool Lemon Jazz consists of vocalist Cynthia Joy Lemen,
arranger and composer Val Lemen, and drummer Bryson Hotopp.
They are professional, polished, “spontaneous,” engaging,
“high energy,” personal, and “so much fun!”
- Cynthia’s voice is “rich and smooth as a well-aged brandy” and “full of breathtaking emotional honesty.” She has sung backup for Sandi Patti, Larnelle Harris, and Dino (Christian Grammy award winning artists). She is a featured soloist for CMI (www.cmichoir.org) Michigan/Ohio annual Christmas concert tour, and performed at the Flint Whiting Auditorium, Midland Center for the Arts, E. Lansing Wharton Center, and the Temple Theater in Saginaw.
- Val Lemen, arranger and composer, has been playing keyboards for 50 years. As a professional musician, he has traveled the continental United States performing rock, pop, jazz, country, and inspirational music.
- Bryson Hotopp has been playing drums for 16 years.
They recently released a Christmas album, A Cool Lemon Jazz Christmas,
this past December. The release party, held at Journey’s Coffee House in
Midland, MI, exceeded its limit of 100 people!
They have presented well-received concerts at Michigan Jazz
Trail (www.michiganjazztrail.org),
and Wonderfest – Saginaw (www.saginawwonderfest.com),
and won second place in 2011 at the Midland Antique Festival Talent Search (www.miantiquefestival.com)
sponsored by WMRX/WMPX.
Cool Lemon Jazz is available as a piano/vocal duo, three
piece, a four piece including a sax player, or they bring along their fabulous
four-piece horn section for a rich Big Band sound.
They perform a wide variety of music styles including
traditional and contemporary jazz, adult contemporary, oldies, smooth jazz, and
big band swing.
You can come hear Cool Lemon Jazz perform live with their
fantastic four-piece horn section at Tunes
