Feestet (pronounced “Feest-tet”) is a Madison-based jazz ensemble fronted by vocalist Helen Feest. 

Cutting their teeth on standards from the Great American Songbook, Feestet formed from a weekly jazz jam. Since then, has performed at notable local venues and events: Jazz at Five, DIG Jazz, North Street Cabaret, Cafe Coda, the Cardinal, and the Madison Jazz Festival. 

New fans often say: “I don’t like jazz much, but I loved that! ”Thus, Feestet dubs their sound “gateway jazz.”

Jazz gets a bad rap for being too ‘elitist’ or ‘difficult’. Feetet’s mission is to create jazz music loved by all people: songs that non-jazz lovers can enjoy.
