Caroline Waters has the kind of deeply resounding voice that lets out a smooth and sultry blend of Jazz and R&B. Seasoned with heartfelt lyrics and forays into chamber pop, the fiery singer and multi-instrumentalist leaves little room to question why she was Norway’s youngest musical ambassador before even reaching the age of 10. Waters and her ensemble of world class musicians are currently promoting her true life story of overcoming adversity; the hauntingly beautiful, heartfelt, humorous and empowering musical, Finding Venus.

This performance includes songs from Caroline’s upcoming album, Finding Venus, as well as Jazz standards ala Nat King Cole, Gershwin, Jobim and Ann Hampton Callaway. Featuring Paul Shewchuk on bass, Debbie Price on viola and Caroline Waters on vocals, piano, guitar, and percussion.

“With a stylistic comfort zone nestled snuggly between George Gershwin, Joni Mitchell and Norah Jones, Caroline Waters is one of those rare artists who have the ability to transform pain and heartache into strength and a love of life that resonates throughout their music. Graced with a clear and tender voice, the multi-instrumentalist is part sultry jazz club diva, part international minstrel and part idealistic folkster.”
