The members of Courage4 are thrilled to perform at this year's Jazzin' the Holidays fundraiser. They will present a selection of songs from their recent debut album, Things Are Looking Up!, along with one or two new originals. Of course, no holiday concert would be complete without songs which celebrate the season, including some Christmas and Hanukkah favorites and two originals by Rob.

"a fine musician with a natural and welcome jazz feel to her delivery and a penchant for left-of-centre reworkings of well-worn material. Supported by her partner, multi-instrumentalist  and arranger Rob Frayne, Courage makes a splash with buoyant, homespun music that grabs from pop and funk to make its jazz more effervescent." Peter Hum, Ottawa Citizen 08/21

Courage4 plays off-the-wall arrangements of funk, pop and folk-infused jazz standards, originals and traditional songs. The quartet features Martine Courage’s creative, lush vocals and stripped back piano stylings, Laura Nerenberg’s nimble and warm violin tones, Rob Frayne’s jazzy harmonic bass (and sometimes tenor sax) and Mike Essoudry’s groovy and inventive drumming.
