About Me

THE UMPQUA SINGERS from Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, are one of the premiere vocal jazz ensembles in the Pacific Northwest. This 12 member group performs a broad range of musical styles ranging from traditional swing to contemporary R & B. With ten CD’s to their credit, the group performs 45-50 engagements per year. The UMPQUA SINGERS were the featured performers at the Capitol Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony in Washington D.C. on December 12, 2002.
