The Zelltones set a groove on the American soundscape of jazzy blues and bluesy jazz while keeping a foothold in pop, rock and funk.

This Central New York-based Acoustic Duo includes Jane Zell on vocals and guitar, and Tamaralee Shutt on lively trumpet, spirited vocalese, and ukulele. The duo’s performance is equally warm, expressive, and willful. Zell’s bluesy vocals and guitar meet Shutt’s background in jazz and funk for an evening of swingin’ grooves, inspired originals and classic covers from Eilen Jewel to the Red Hot Skillet Lickers. These women will not fail to delight the crowd with a sound that moves the feet and the heart as the evening progresses.

2018 SAMMY Nominated CD: Almost Real

There’s no “almost” about it. This disc proves the Zelltones are the real deal!
