Miss Jubilee and the Yas Yas Boys are a St. Louis band that specializes in early blues, jazz and hokum. Vocalist Miss Jubilee (aka Valerie Kirchhoff) leads the group, paying homage to the female blues singers of the 1920s and 30s and to the rich musical heritage of St. Louis. In those days, there was so much great music that blurred the line between “jazz” and “blues”, and these are the sounds that most inspire Miss Jubilee and the Yas Yas Boys. Performed with joy, precision, and an infectious energy, they prove that this wonderful old music isn’t ready for the museum quite yet!
