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 country.

Founded in 2018 by professional musicians (and friends!) Sarah Folsom and Matthew Umphreys, 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 organizations across the region, including The Cincinnati Opera, The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Memorial Hall, The Washington Opera House, The Fitton Center for Creative Arts, as well as on TV and radio with CET, TVHamilton, and WGUC. In 2021, they released their first album, “Count Your Blessings: A Tribute to Rosemary Clooney," and are currently recording their second studio album, "A Cozy Christmas with Queen City Cabaret," for release in November 2026."

Smoke & Queers is a queer-led, co-ed burlesque, drag, and performance art troupe that encourages all weird and wild expressions of self, gender, identity, and sexuality. As a budding nonprofit arts organization, their mission is to help connect and unify the LBGTQ+ community in Cincinnati (and beyond!) and to create a space where those outside the typical standard of beauty come to feel sexy, celebrated, and empowered.
