Chic jazz
renegades, The Ladybugs, have released their enchanting, nostalgia-inspired
holiday EP, Blue Christmas. Having received great acclaim from The Wall Street
Journal and Vanity Fair for their mesmerizing performances and for their sharp
& brazen style, the group is excited to share this series of warm and
wistful spins on holiday classics. This gorgeously arranged project
incorporates lush bass, horns and strings with captivating vocals to explore
both the cozy corners and the profound depths of these timeless Christmas
tunes. Most recently, The Ladybugs premiered the EP’s title track and debut
single via AXS; “Blue Christmas” acts as an endearing snapshot for the album on
the whole, fusing melancholic country stylings with warm jazz elements to
charmingly capture the bittersweet essence of a lonely Christmas.
The Ladybugs
offer charming and captivating tunes and stories with dreamy, dulcet tones of
voices and trombones. Led by jazz-trained vocalist Martina DaSilva, their
unique instrumentation of two lead singers (both doubling in percussion &
ukulele), two trombone players, guitar, and bass, creates a lush & dynamic
soundscape that enchants and uplifts all listeners. The Ladybugs’ repertoire
includes favorites from the 1920s, ‘30s, and ‘40s, infused with country, blues,
latin, and classical music. The band has received high praise for recent
performances at the Kennedy Center, Jazz At Lincoln Center, the NY Hot Jazz
Festival, the NYC Winter Jazzfest, and the Catskill Jazz Factory. With a
gorgeous and masterfully crafted sound that evokes nostalgia, comfort and mystery,
The Ladybugs are effortless in their ability to keep listeners dreaming,
smiling and moving. In September 2015, The Ladybugs released their debut self-
titled album to rave reviews.
