Critically-acclaimed Southern California-based singer, entertainer and bandleader Judy Chamberlain knows so many songs that her ability to perform requests on the spot is legendary. Paul Anka even wrote a special version of "My Way" for her. Clients, however, will tell you that Judy does it your way, sharing her musical knowledge and experience and listening intently to your needs in order to provide you with just the right "score" to literally "orchestrate" your wedding. Chamberlain, whose marvelous Judy Chamberlain Society Swing Orchestra unites the finest musicians in the world, is a personable entertainer who connects with audiences of all ages.
   A native New Yorker, she has performed at many of the Los Angeles area's top venues, including Lunaria, Chasen's, The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel (where she headlined for New Year's weekend, Y2K), Twin Palms, The Four Seasons Hotel, The Hyatt Newporter, The Robert Mondavi Food and Wine Center, The Disneyland Hotel, The Skyroom, Madison, Egan House, Kikuya, Spaghettini, Papashon, The Pacific Room and Citrus City Grill.
   Chamberlain is a jazz singer and an old-fashioned bandleader, in a league of her own when it comes to putting on a show for dining, dancing and romancing. The Los Angeles Times, Orange County Register, Long Beach Press Telegram and numerous other publications have hailed her as a unique song stylist with a rich, clear voice and incomparable phrasing skills, praised her rapport with the audience and lauded her "encyclopedic knowledge of American popular music."
   A meticulous coordinator of all things musical for weddings, parties and corporate events, Chamberlain is especially adept at mixing up a heady brew of standards from the 1930's, 1940's and 1950's, all updated in a deliciously modern and sophisticated way. From her vast repertoire, she can swing hard in the best tradition of Ella Fitzgerald or Louis Armstrong, turn up the heat with "Mid Century Moderne Rat Pack Lounge" antics, California Cool Jazz, disco, soul, or rock-n-roll oldies, then switch gears and turn the room into a French cabaret, circa 1958, treat guests to the best of Broadway or deliver the kinds of poignant heartbreakers once sung by Billie Holiday, Julie London, June Christy and Peggy Lee.
