Jeudi

Born: July 25

Welcome! I'm so happy to meet you. I'm Jeudi.

Here's my story: I love the vintage scene because it allows me to dress the part and feel like a time-traveler. As a performer of vintage music, I like to take people on a similar journey. As you’re listening, I hope you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to the past - - maybe it’s a swank Supper Club in Manhattan, an intimate Parisian Cabaret, an elegant London ballroom, or to Hollywood’s Golden Age—or maybe you’ll just drift on the music, back to your own memories."

This love of history, really goes back to my family
