Ensembles & Projects
Beyond her solo work, Jen leads two distinct musical projects — each with its own sound, style, and spirit.
Mr. Lucky and His Orchestra of Tomorrow
Jazz. Swing. Latin. Lounge. All night long.
Mr. Lucky and His Orchestra of Tomorrow is a high-energy seven-piece ensemble that brings the golden age of jazz and swing to life for modern audiences. Led by Jen Zias on vocals, the band delivers an irresistible mix of jazz standards, big band swing, Latin rhythms, and lounge classics — the kind of music that fills a dance floor and keeps it full.
The Orchestra has performed at private events, corporate functions, weddings, and festivals across the Chicago area and the Midwest. Their repertoire spans the American Songbook, classic swing era hits, bossa nova, and Latin favorites — always delivered with the polish and energy of a seasoned live band.
Whether you need a sophisticated cocktail hour or a full-on dance party, Mr. Lucky and His Orchestra of Tomorrow brings the sound, the style, and the swing.
Available for private bookings throughout the Chicago area and Midwest.

The Merry Janes
The spirit of the classic girl groups — reimagined for the holidays.
The Merry Janes is an all-female caroling trio co-founded by Jen Zias and Amanda Wolff. Drawing inspiration from the golden era of girl groups — The Andrews Sisters, The McGuire Sisters, and The Supremes — The Merry Janes bring warmth, harmony, and a touch of vintage glamour to holiday events and special celebrations.
The trio performs classic holiday favorites in lush three-part harmony, with the close-knit blend and playful energy that made the great girl groups of the 1940s, 50s, and 60s so beloved. From intimate holiday parties to large-scale seasonal events, The Merry Janes bring the magic of the season to every stage.
