Sinne Eeg's distinctive vocals have earned her a loyal and rapidly growing fan base in her native country of Denmark and around the world. Considered the preeminent jazz vocalist in Scandinavia, Sinne has already made her mark in Japan, China, and throughout Europe with her exquisite live performances and award-winning studio recordings.

Sinne Eeg's distinctive vocals have earned her a loyal and rapidly growing fan base in her native country of Denmark and around the world. Considered the preeminent jazz vocalist in Scandinavia, Sinne has already made her mark in Japan, China, and throughout Europe with her exquisite live performances and award-winning studio recordings. FACE THE MUSIC, released in 2014, earned her the Danish Music Award (Denmark's Grammy) for Best Jazz Vocal CD, along with the Ben Webster Prize (for which Sinne was the sole female recipient for the last 30 years), and the Prix du Jazz, awarded by France's Academie du Jazz.
As a singer she is influenced by Nancy Wilson, Betty Carter and Sarah Vaughan, but with her personal touch of soft darkness, Sinne keeps the Scandinavian melancholy settled in her music.
“The name – Sinne Eeg – maybe hard to remember, at first. But anyone who listens to her album, The Beauty of Sadness, as well as her similarly appealing Don’t Be Blue, or hears her in live performance will have no difficulty recalling either the name or the unforgettable music of this remarkable artist. If there’s any justice in the world, Grammy nominations will be beckoning to Sinne in 2013 and beyond.” – Don Heckman, Vitello’s
”I've never seen so many people at the new Dizzy's since it opened, and I can pretty much guarantee that no one left unimpressed. Eeg is a superb singer who also functions as an instrumentalist perhaps better than anyone I've seen in recent years.” – Robert Bush, San Diego Reader
"Sinne Eeg, from Denmark, is a singer with the whole package: looks, height, pipes, range, control and the ability to both scat and tell a story. She also writes nice songs in English like "Waiting For Dawn", a poignant set of reflections on a long-distance love affair." – Thomas Conrad, All About Jazz, New York
Den danske jazzsangerinde Sinne Eeg fejrer under Vinterjazz 2018 udgivelsen af sit nye album ”Dreams”, som er optaget i USA med amerikanske musikere samt hendes faste pianist gennem mange år, Jacob Christoffersen.
Ved denne koncert spiller bandet en række af de nye sange. Det bliver en god blanding af Sinne Eeg egne vidunderlige sange samt udvalgte sange jazzens standardrepertoire.
Sinne Eeg modtog i oktober 2016 Dronning Ingrids Hæderslegat – den sidste i en perlerække af flotte hædersbevisninger efter bl.a Ben Webster Prisen, DR Jazz Prisen, 4 x Danish Music Award, den prestigefyldte, franske jazzpris Palmares fra L’Academie Du Jazz (de 60 vigtigste jazzkritikere i Frankrig) samt Holstebro Kommunes Musikpris.
Sinne Eeg er kendt for at være, om muligt, endnu bedre live end på cd. Hendes koncerter kendetegnes ved stort nærvær, humor og et enormt musikalsk overskud, som bl.a. kommer til udtryk ved, at der i den grad leges og tages chancer på scenen – ikke mindst i hendes suveræne scat-sang, som må betegnes som værende i verdensklasse.
Udover at have indtaget den hjemlige scene er Sinne Eeg ved at have godt fat i udlandet, hvor hun bl.a. jævnligt tournerer i lande som USA, Japan, Kina, Norge og Sverige. Især i Japan og USA er der store forventninger om kommende gennembrud efter flere succesfulde turnéer.
