The Queen City Jazz Band’s vocalist, Wende Harston, brings to life the great hit songs of Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Ida Cox, Ethel Waters, Alberta Hunter, Helen Humes and many more. Harston, is a complete entertainer – she sings, dances and acts. She has appeared in many feature films and made-for-TV film series. She can be seen in local theater productions as well. She writes songs and is authoring a mystery novel. She enjoys a number of pets, and states that she is owned by a parrot. Another passion is her vintage doll collection.
