About this act
Penny King has been leading her own band since 1996 and is one of the more respected voices in Perth jazz.

She has been a featured vocalist with the West Australian Youth Jazz Orchestra, appeared at the Rottnest, York and Fremantle International jazz festivals, and performed alongside James Morrison and Dale Barlow. A WAAPA graduate, she now teaches jazz vocals there as well as privately, and plays regularly at the Ellington Jazz Club. Available as a quartet or quintet for corporate events, weddings and private functions.
