Hi All.
It’s August and it’s fun in the sun and I’m playing lots of excellent gigs in different locations. It’s a great time for me.
Wendy Waller
Featured Gig: I’m loving playing the “Art of the Duo” concerts at Angelicas in Redwood City. They have been a huge success. Thank you to Sandra Marlowe, Tammi Brown, Cathy Segal-Garcia, Kay Kostopoulos, Mary Jenson, Daria, Azure McCall, Darryl Rowe, Roberta Donnay and Molly Holm for playing great shows.
Our eleventh presentation at Angelicas is Wednesday, August 22 and will feature, exciting jazz vocalist, Wendy Waller.
Wendy Waller’s unique and creative approach to melody and lyric embodies the vast rich landscape of American Music. Born into an artistic family of musicians, painters, and writers, Wendy spent her young years cultivating her multiple abilities, singing, acting and dancing in musical theater.
Wendy has fronted several successful bands, worked as a freelance singer, and contributed her talents to a number of projects, including Chris Isaak’s “Speak of the Devil.” Wendy performs at a wide variety of venues throughout the Bay Area. She was also one of 10 finalists selected from over 10,000 entries worldwide for the Rising Star competition, which was part of British Music Week.
Wendy also teaches private voice to children and adults. She is certified in three levels of Somatic Voicework™: the LoVetri Method and is certified as a level 1 Instructor by the Institute for Vocal Advancement.
Wendy has taught and assisted at U.C. Berkeley, San Jose State University, Foothill Junior College and the Community School of Music and Art in Mountain View, California. She teaches at two locations in the San Francisco Bay Area: Menlo Park, and Mountain View.
This will be a night of musical improvisation and creativity and FUN. Hope you can come. Tickets are FREE if ordered online at Angelicas website ($10 at the door). Make your reservations early.
