Genre-hopping and über-hip, PinkMartini blends cosmopolitan sounds with around-the-world musical influences, resulting in a sound that has been described as "global cabaret." As Pink Martini bandleader and pianist Thomas Lauderdale says, "If the United Nations had a house band in 1962, then hopefully we'd be that band."  Their latest album, Splendour in the Grass, is a carnival of musical influences with one grand purpose: to rebuild a worldwide culture that sings and dances. Singing with Pink Martini at their Laxson performance will be Storm Large.
