It’s smart, it’s soulful, it’s jazz. For every style of music that Johanna Sillanpaa explores there’s a vibrant color in her voice to match. Sillanpaa's vocals are expertly clear, gently raw, and intensely bold. She performs slick jazz you can dig your heels into and her ensemble have played everywhere from the intimate jazz joints in their small-but-tight musical community of Calgary to the Montreal Jazz Festival’s 60,000-plus crowds.
