Alexis Tantau

Alexis has been hailed as a "captivating songstress" capable of "displaying a warm voice, versatility, and a cheerful nature." Opening for the National Symphony Orchestra in 2021, the Georgetown Voice praised her "ability to soulfully croon with a warmth that kept concert-goers hanging on her every breath."

Her lustrous vocal timbre and delectable French diction has made her a natural match for the Django Reinhardt inspired group Hot Club of Baltimore, led by guitarist Michael Joseph Harris. Alexis has appeared in the Charm City Django Jazz Fest, at Baltimore Jazz Fest, Creative Cauldron's Passport to the World, Napa Valley Jazz Society, D.C. Art Soiree's "Women in Arts" series, and at the French Embassy, as well as in numerous shows at Baltimore's Creative Alliance, Germano's, An die Musik, and Mobtown Ballroom--where her swinging vocal style has become popular with Baltimore's red hot swing dance scene.

Alexis is also passionate about arts education, the study of world languages (including Occitan, the endangered language of her ancestors), and her dog Jack Skellington. Her most recent album is LA VIE EN ROSE: The Hot Club of Baltimore featuring Alexis Tantau.
