Nadine DuBois is a jazz vocalist, emcee, writer, producer, and performer whose career has spanned more than two decades.

She began performing in Minneapolis cabaret in the early 2000s, singing and emceeing several nights a week before going on to perform, produce, and create work on stages across the United States and internationally. Her career has taken her from intimate cabaret rooms to First Avenue, Las Vegas, Australia, and New Zealand, with performances encompassing jazz, burlesque, theater, music, and live variety.

As an emcee, Nadine spent years at the center of the Twin Cities cabaret and burlesque scene, hosting hundreds of performances and sharing stages with an extraordinary range of artists. Her work has also included the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas, international touring, sold-out productions at First Avenue, and appearances at theaters, nightclubs, festivals, and cultural venues throughout the region.

Her work as a creator extends beyond performance. Nadine has written and produced original stage productions, cabarets, variety shows, festivals, and special events, alongside her work as a vocalist and emcee.

Music has remained a constant throughout it all. An operatically trained mezzo-soprano, Nadine found her voice as a jazz singer in the intimate world of cabaret. Her repertoire draws from jazz standards, torch songs, swing, and contemporary music, shaped by the smoky, conversational style that has become her own.

In 2026, Nadine returns to Bryant Lake Bowl Theater with I Probably Shouldn’t Tell You This, an intimate cabaret with guitarist Robert Bell, bringing together music and stories from more than twenty years onstage and off.
