Kristin Korb is an internationally acclaimed jazz bassist and vocalist known for her captivating blend of voice and bass. A former student of jazz legend Ray Brown, she launched her career with Introducing Kristin Korb with the Ray Brown Trio and has since released multiple acclaimed albums, performing and teaching across the U.S. and Europe.

Her latest project, Sweet Dreams, reimagines the music of the Eurythmics through a jazz lens, offering bold new arrangements praised by JazzWax’s Marc Myers: “Kudos to Kristin for taking on these songs, re-imagining them and creating a smart listen.” Premiered live at Copenhagen’s Jazzhus Montmartre, the project is now being brought to U.S. audiences through an upcoming tour.

Joining Kristin is long-time musical partner Pamela York (piano), a Canadian-born pianist, vocalist, and composer. A graduate of The Royal Conservatory of Music and Berklee College of Music, she blends blues, hymns, and lesser-known standards. A winner of the 2007 Great American Jazz Piano Competition and a 2025 South Arts Jazz Road grant recipient, Pamela’s 2012 album, Lay Down This World, was a DownBeat Magazine Editor’s Pick.

Hannah Johnson (drums) brings vibrant energy from Milwaukee’s jazz, folk, and indie scenes. She’s toured with Durand Jones and Orville Peck and teaches at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music.

Concerts and events made possible, in part, with support from the Wells Philanthropic Services provided by grants from the John, Anna, and Martha Jane Fields Memorial Trust Foundation and the Florence V. Carroll Charitable Trust, The Esther and George Jaruga Charitable Foundation, the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County's ArtsEverywhere initiative, and the Arts Project Support Grant and Arts Recovery Grant through the Indiana Arts Commission.
