A vocal trio in the great tradition of the 30’s era Boswell Sisters, DUCHESS has quickly gained a reputation for tight harmonies and big fun at their shows.  Vocalists Amy Cervini, Hilary Gardner and Melissa Stylianou join forces and voices to become DUCHESS.

We are pleased to announce Duchess just placed #2 in the JazzTimes Critic’s Poll right behind the legendary Take 6, beating out the great New York Voices and The Manhattan Transfer!  Fabulous for such a young group!! Come hear them at Litchfield Jazz Fest.  You can’t begin to imagine how much fun you’ll have. “ I first heard  them on a rain-soaked, trafficky drive to Hartford. Felt like the clouds lifted and hardly cared if I ever got there! Hired them the next day!” (Vita Muir)
