We’ll be recording tracks for her new album, so this is a unique chance to see a true artist making great music in the studio.” From Austin, TX, she been called, “memorable and contagious” by NPR and “the most promising American jazz singer to come along since Cassandra Wilson” by The Boston Globe. Other artists to be recorded during the Avatar weekend will be announced soon.
