Known for their fun twist on cocktail pop, The Lascivious Biddies have earned a reputation for having an energetic and tightly woven live show that sparkles with four-part harmonies, expert musicianship, and magnetic wit. The group’s unconventional arrangements of original compositions and standards-to-be blur the line between pop, jazz, and cabaret styles. The Biddies has brought its distinctive sound to many venerable institutions such as Joe’s Pub (New York), the Bluebird Cafe (Nashville), and the Kennedy Center (Washington, DC). The group consists of Lee Ann Westover, lead vocals; Deidre Rodman, piano and vocals; Saskia Lane, double bass and vocals; and Amanda Monaco, guitar and vocals.
