Anna Laura Quinn has a voice that will stop you in your tracks. With velvety richness and the clarity of a bell, she gets right to the emotional heart of any song she chooses to sing, blending jazz, soul, and singer-songwriter influences into spellbinding performances full of warmth, spontaneity, and intimacy, beguiling audiences with what Downbeat called “the inherent delight of [her] vocal timbre.”

 

Since 2010, she has called New Orleans home, and it is in that musically charged city that her voice has found its full expression. Now with three albums to her name as bandleader and arranger, she brings repertoire out into the world that defies easy categorization, moving deftly between highly personalized arrangements of American Songbook gems, songs in French and Portuguese, surprising interpretations of popular music from across eras, and a growing number of original compositions. No matter the setting, Anna Laura brings undeniable sincerity, humor, and joie de vivre to her craft.

​

​She is a dynamic presence on the New Orleans music scene, performing regularly with projects under her own name and with the Unmentionables, a band she founded in 2020 that plays what she likes to call "New Orleans Getdown Music." She can be found performing all around New Orleans and in recent years, Anna Laura has brought her repertorial melange on the road in the San Francisco Bay Area and Southern California, New England, Western and Upstate New York, Brooklyn, Washington DC, Paris and Eymet, France.
