Jazz singer for hire in Bend, Oregon
Deone Jennings is a professional jazz vocalist based in Bend. She sings classic standards with warmth and conversational phrasing—available for private events, restaurants, venues, and live jazz engagements across Central Oregon.
The music
Classic jazz, sung for the room
Deone’s book is rooted in the American songbook and the singers she grew up with: Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Jo Stafford, Anita O’Day, Julie London, and Sarah Vaughan. The result is live jazz that feels intimate, upbeat when the night calls for it, and never rushed.
She has more than 15 years of professional experience and came up singing in jazz clubs around Portland after a college performance jazz class opened the door. The work is still the same: listen, converse with the band, and give the room a voice.
