Clover Club, the Minneapolis jazz duo featuring vocalist Victoria Temiz and guitarist Carl Johnson, brings a fresh yet authentically jazzy sound to the scene. Their repertoire, deeply rooted in the jazz tradition, echoes the intimate, laid-back style of Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass, with a twist. Victoria's scat singing, a nod to the jazz greats, combined with her versatile vocal technique and charisma, adds a chanteuse-like charm to the duo's performances. Their clever, pared-down arrangements of big band classics create an inviting and intimate atmosphere, perfect for any jazz lover.

2023 was a landmark year for Victoria, who not only received the Dale Schlatzlein Jazz Scholarship at MacPhail but also performed at the Gotham Jazz Festival in New York City. Her experience and skill, honed since graduating from Duquesne University's Mary Pappart School of Music, shine through in every performance. Carl, who has also played with the Red Hot Django Peppers and the Ryan Picone Quartet, studied at both the Berklee School of Music and the University of Minnesota's School of Music Guitar Performance program. His unique ability to weave a bluesy essence into jazz tunes, complements Victoria's versatile vocals. The pair have become local favorites, performing at venues like MetroNOME Brewery, Axebridge Wine Bar, and Rustic Roots. Together, they bring a breath of fresh air to the jazz scene, offering audiences a delightful mix of classic jazz sensibility and unique flair. With Clover Club, it's not just about the music; it's about creating an experience that's both enjoyable and genuine.
