プロフィール：

Florie Namir is a Boston-based jazz-pop artist who combines pre-war American vocal jazz with old-school pop (The Beatles, Elton John, etc.). Born in Tel Aviv, Israel, Florie received her PhD in Classical Composition and traveled the world as a concert-hall composer before transitioning to original songwriting. Florie's songs are sophisticated yet always accessible. She performed at Sofar Sounds, Mondo.NYC Festival and Industry Summit, and her music was played on WERS 88.9FM, the #1 college radio station in America (according to The Princeton Review). Elegance, style and grace and a jazz club ambiance earmark Florie's performance style.
