The Marketplace at Pleasant Beach Village

Born and raised in Salem, Oregon, Nancy Erickson Lamont has studied music her entire life. “When I was growing up, all types of music were ever-present in my home. We listened to everything from Frank Sinatra, Don Ellis, Peggy Lee, & Louis Armstrong to The Beatles, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Frank Zappa, The Band, and soundtracks from musicals”. The music that filled her home became the foundation that would yield one of the more versatile musicians in the Seattle area. With influences like Nancy Wilson, Frank Sinatra, Dianne Reeves, and Peggy Lee, Nancy’s wide-ranging alto voice has been compared to Karen Carpenter and Ella Fitzgerald.
