Vocalist Jen Zias has just entered her second year as resident jazz chanteuse at at the Drake Hotel, appearing with her trio in the Palm Court lounge every Friday and Saturday night, 9:00pm to 12:30am. She and her wonderful trio (Dennis Anderson-piano, Joe Policastro/Jason Ellis-bass, and Joe Adamik-drums) perform a wide variety of jazz standards, swing, and Latin favorites for folks who want to relax with a nice cocktail and/or practice their Cha Cha and Fox Trot.

Since her arrival in Chicago, Jen has impressed audiences with her arresting voice and diverse, ever-evolving repertoire. The Illinois Entertainer calls her a cross between "the great Annie Ross and Rickie Lee Jones."

Over the last 10 years, she has performed hundreds of times throughout the area, as both a solo performer and featured vocalist in several of the city's finest orchestras. Noted appearances include The Jenny Jones Show, Wild Chicago, and Taste of Chicago.
