TAKE A SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY…

Queen City Cabaret is a Cincinnati-based arts organization and musical duo that brings captivating performances of vintage jazz and pop to venues across the midwest and beyond. Founded by professional musicians (and friends!) Sarah Folsom and Matthew Umphreys in 2018, QCC celebrates the beloved songs and stories of 20th century American commercial music with intimate cabarets, large-scale concerts, and everything in between. With their signature twist of whimsy, QCC’s expertly-curated performances are designed to take listeners on a “sentimental journey,” reviving and refreshing timeless classics from the Great American Songbook that still resonate deeply with today’s audiences. QCC is a resident company at The Carnegie Theatre in Covington, KY, and their performances have been featured by numerous arts organizations and concert halls across the region, including Cincinnati Opera, Memorial Hall, The Washington Opera House, The Fitton Center for Creative Arts, as well as on TV and radio with CET, TVHamilton, WVXU and WGUC. In 2021, they released their first album, “Count Your Blessings: A Tribute to Rosemary Clooney.”

Pour yourself a cocktail, and join Queen City Cabaret for a musical experience like no other, “to renew old memories.”

Our upcoming album (coming November 2026) gave us an opportunity to celebrate both! Check out this mini-documentary about the making of 'A Cozy Christmas' and what inspires us!
