***NEWS: Esther received 2 WAMMIES (Washington Area Music Awards) in Feb 2005 for Big Band Vocals and Jazz Vocals, bringing her to a total of 5 WAMMIES to date.

Esther Haynes has been working as a vocalist and guitarist around Washington, DC since around 1998. Since that time, she has worked with Hokum Jazz, the Tom Cunningham Orchestra, Martini Red and a number duos and trios. She has worked with jazz guitarists Justin Lees, Phil Mathieu, Rusty Bogart and others. Since 1998 she has received 4 WAMMIE (Washington Area Music Award) nominations for Jazz Vocals/traditional jazz, 2 for Big Band Vocals, 1 for Debut Recording (2001), and 1 for Traditional Jazz Duo/Group (Hokum Jazz). She won a WAMMIE for Big Band Vocalist (2003) and in February of 2005, Esther received two WAMMIES, 1 for Big Band Vocalist and 1 for Jazz Vocalist (2004).

In addition to her two CD projects (2001, 2004), she has been included on 3 Hungry for Music recordings, one bluegrass recording by fiddler Tad Marks, and a recording of southern American traditional music by Eddie McGee in 1998. These recordings have gotten some notice by local and online press.

Highlights of her performing career include the Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival and Baltimore Blues Festivals with Hokum Jazz, and opening for Rounder Recording Artist Madeleine Peyroux at the Iota in Arlington, VA.

Her style is influenced by her Virginia roots, as well as her love of vintage jazz and swing vocalists of the 1920's and 1930's. Her first recording pays tribute to these vocalists; the second features jazz vocals accompanied by jazz guitar and acoustic bass.
