Diane Martinson is a true impresario, as manager of more than half-a-dozen bands, choirs and duos—most of which she performs in. Chief among them is Elevation Swing & Variety Band, an eight-piece act boasting five strong vocalists who double on instruments for rich vocal harmonies backed by percussion, guitars and horns. Martinson also offers a dinnertime jazz trio or duo, an affordable way to add elegant live music without the cost of the full eight-piece band. All told, her services are more customizable than a tricked-out Honda Accord, serving both your needs and your budget. “One Minneapolis couple has already been at four of our events,” Martinson says. “Only time will tell how many Elevation receptions they will dance at!”
