C'MON! We wanna' see YOU in the audience!

Welcome to this here website for the singin-est, swingin-est three-part-harmony trio, the SWIZZLE CHICKS, + their fab band, the Piping Hot Toddies.

The SWIZZLE CHICKS play a variety of swing, bossa nova, jazz standards, and original tunes in close three-part harmony that will have you snapping your fingers, singing along, and swaying in your chair. Think “martini jazz.”

Hailing from Portland, Oregon, the SWIZZLE CHICKS and the Piping Hot Toddies, have played all over the Pacific Northwest for more than 20 years, bringing familiar standards and humorous toe-tapping originals to life, not to mention smiles to audience faces. This engaging vocal trio puts its own stamp on the Great American Songbook. Their lauded album of originals, “Shakin,’ Not Stirred” features top jazz musicians in the Portland area.

“They all have fabulous voices and a knack for writing catchy songs with tight harmonies.” - The Oregonian

“Beth Kahlen, Stephanie Torres and Carrie Rambo never met a tune they couldn’t harmonize into delirious submission …the Chicks keep fun on the front burner and enjoy some cheeky wordplay to boot.” - Portland Tribune

Who else could win the Portland Songwriters’ Association “Best Song” in its Annual International Song Contest in the “Other” category? Leave it to the Swizzle Chicks!

The Swizzle Chicks are three-part harmony...with a twist!
