Doreen Ketchens
Doreen Ketchens has been called Lady Louis, Miss Satchmo, and the Female Louis Armstrong, to name a few. However, on May 26, 2022, Doreen, was honored with a Doctorate degree, in music from Five Towns College, in Long Island New York. Now she is Dr. Doreen J. Ketchens!
Dr. Doreen has changed the way scholars view their clarinets. She has successfully created her own style that blends her classical training with the soul of jazz.
Her intense passion gets under your skin and brings you to a new place. Be it, Gospel, Blues, R&B, Classical, or Jazz. Dr. Doreen Ketchens can rock her clarinet on many levels, then sing like a songbird on a sunny day. She has been called many names because she plays like Charlie “Bird” Parker, sings like Mahalia Jackson, and she has the chops and personality of Louis Armstrong!
Dr. Doreen Ketchens has been featured in numerous radio and television shows including Treme, HBO, and Drunk History, along with movies such as C'mon C'mon, Out of Blue, and Tyler Perry’s Temptation. Most recently Ketchens has been seen on Jimmy Kimmel Live and CBS Sunday Morning.
