Julia Keefe Quartet

Led by the celebrated vocalist and luminary Julia Keefe (Nez Perce), the ensemble brings charisma, passion and purpose to every stage, leaving audiences both inspired and educated. Premiering at Washington Center for the Performing Arts in 2022, the quartet quickly gained a reputation for deepening and challenging our understanding of the “uniquely American” art form known as jazz. Julia Keefe celebrates the diversity and vitality of Indigenous peoples in jazz: past, present and future. 

Julia Keefe is an internationally acclaimed Native American jazz vocalist, actor, activist and educator currently based in New York City. Her professional career has spanned over 20 years, and she has headlined marquee events at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C., NMAI-NY, as well as opened for the likes of 20-time GRAMMY Award winner Tony Bennett and 4-time GRAMMY Award winner Esperanza Spalding.

The goals of Julia Keefe are to celebrate and continue that tradition, to compose and perform new music inspired by traditional backgrounds and to create a community of like-minded people from all backgrounds to uplift the next generation of Indigenous jazz musicians.
