Nancy Erickson, joined by Ed Weber on piano and Jon Hamar on upright bass, will play at Alexa’s Cafe at 7 p.m. on Jan. 11. In 2009, Erickson returned to her jazz roots by joining her husband in their jazz ensemble The Erickson Group.

“I’d been singing other styles in various bands and at church, but when I started sitting in with my husband’s jazz combo I remembered where my heart lies musically and truly where my niche is,” said Erickson.

She has received recent accolades by winning the 2012 Seattle-Kobe Jazz Vocalist competition at Jazz Alley.

Alexa’s Cafe is located at 10115 Main Street in Bothell.

Call (425) 402-1754 for reservations.
