SUMMARY:Veronica Swift
DESCRIPTION:Having been known to the world as one of the most dazzling and versatile performers of her generation with “a miraculous voice\, musical ability and technique\, as well as an innate gift for entertaining a crowd” (Wall Street Journal)\, Veronica Swift showed in previous years that she is more than a jazz singer. During the 2023-25 years\, Swift and her multi genre band performed for audiences all over the globe seeing a rising demand for her dynamic\, electrifying performances. It was in this era that she was also given the honor of Knight in the order of arts and letters from the French Republic.\nHer debut Mack Avenue award-winning release ‘Confessions’ (2019) secured her a spot at the podium amongst the greatest jazz singers of her generation. She then demonstrated her flare for conceptual cycles and keen arranging with her 2021 release ‘This Bitter Earth’ which not only gave a glimpse into her rock influences\, but automatically touched up upon some of the harder truths of being a woman. On her most recent 2023 album\, simply titled ‘Veronica Swift’\, she spreads her sonic wings even further exploring a “TransGenre” concept that includes more expansive range of influences than ever before: French and Italian opera\, European classical music\, industrial and punk rock\, funk\, and vaudeville.\nSwift’s recent collaboration with drummer/producer\, Brian Viglione (The Dresden Dolls) allowed for her creativity to flourish\, and as she continues her artistic journey\, she brings this multi-genre experience to you along with the music from her upcoming original project titled DAME. She is joined on stage by Kyle Reinhart (guitar)\, Alexis Angel (keyboards/guitar)\, and Jonny Heinz (bass).
