Tuesday Night Jazz at The Commonwealth Pub Meetup Group

The Elise Franklin Quartet, a group of experienced musicians playing jazz standards and Latin, is led by Elise Franklin on vocals and Jack Krouscup on piano. Elise grew up in a musical family, and pursued acting first, which led to singing professionally in 2000. She leads the band with Jack Krouscup, a keyboard musician, composer, and arranger with decades of experience, and a Berklee College Of Music graduate. Seasoned, sensitive and skilled players, Evan Braun (upright and electric bass), and Casey Smiley (drums) complete the group.
