“Manhattan's hippest girl group”—Washington Post
The Lascivious Biddies’ irrepressible genre-defying sound has earned them an avid following not just in their native New York, but throughout the US and beyond. Blending jazz, pop, and cabaret with soaring four-part harmonies, this all-female “cocktail pop” foursome has earned a reputation for expert musicianship and sharp wit mixed with a dash of sentimentality. They have performed their energetic show at some of the nation’s hottest venues—from the Kennedy Center to Birdland.

Known for their fun twist on cocktail pop, The Lascivious Biddies have earned a reputation for having an energetic and tightly woven live show that sparkles with four-part harmonies, expert musicianship, and magnetic wit. The group’s unconventional arrangements of original compositions and standards-to-be blur the line between pop, jazz, and cabaret styles.

The group consists of Lee Ann Westover, lead vocals; Deidre Rodman, piano and vocals; Saskia Lane, double bass and vocals; and Amanda Monaco, guitar and vocals.
