*Vocalist Paula Johns is an accomplished jazz singer and cabaret artist. She has received numerous accolades from audiences in Philadelphia, Atlantic City, New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands with her sassy, animated interpretations of great Broadway tunes and the standards of Gershwin, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern and many others from The Great American Songbook. Though often compared to Ella Fitzgerald, Paula brings her own distinctive panache to each song she sings, her passion igniting the emotions of her audiences and allowing them to feel the story that each song tells. Paula is delighted to be performing with the Garden State Symphonic Band as a part of the Concerts By the Bay series again this summer.
