Jonathan has revived honors in New York as well as California including; the 2014 New York City Jazz Cabaret Honors and, in 2015, he was voted “Best Singer” for the Bravo San Diego Awards. Also, in 2015 Jonathan joined us here in Palm Springs to present two-time Grammy Award winner, Diane Schurr, with the proclamation of “Diane Schurr Day” at the Palm Springs Women's Jazz Festival.
"A voice, romantic without being cloying, warm but not forced, Karrant carries these songs with an emotional weight that make it seem at times as if he had written them himself. Just listen to his jazzy makeover of the Beatles' eternally beautiful "In My Life" and hear the yearning in his singing." -Jazz Corner
"Jonathan Karrant is an outstanding male jazz vocalist from Vegas to California to the cabaret/jazz rooms of Manhattan, Jonathan Karrant is rapidly making a name for himself on the club circuit. No cookie-cutter, carbon copy, he owns a very distinct, smoky sound and brings a fresh style to midnight classics." -Cabaret Scenes
Karrant was born in the heart of America at the foothills of the Ozarks in the old western town of Fort Smith, Arkansas, east of the Arkansas River. He has played with the Symphony, charitable events, and for jazz concerts throughout the state. He has studied under the direction of Kurt Elling and Marilyn Maye as well as studying performance in New York City at the William Esper Studio, and music with the Seth Riggs Vocal Method with Greg Enriquez in Los Angeles. Karrant also gives credit to real performance experience in recalling that a lot of what he has learned about singing a song has just come with time, singing to audiences night after night. He has played Las Vegas supper clubs, and while there, initiated a venture with Vincent Falcone, Sinatra’s musical director/pianist, in a ten song CD, entitled “Introducing Jonathan Karrant”. Since, he has toured the states and Europe, gathering fans and gaining recognition wherever he performs.
