A class act, jazz and blues legend Barbara Morrison has performed at various renowned Jazz and Blues venues and festivals around the world including Montreaux, Carnegie Hall, North Sea, Monterey, and Long Beach. She has also been the featured guest at many Swing and blues exchanges around the country.
She has dazzled fans of a wide array of genres from traditional Jazz and Blues to Gospel and Pop. Her melodic voice, with its two-and-a-half-octave range, is known worldwide, as are her rich, unique, soulful and highly spirited interpretations of both familiar Jazz and Blues classics, and original contemporary tunes. Equally as striking is Ms. Morrison's ability to belt out down-home, soul-stirring Blues. Her impassioned renditions of old and favorite torch songs are nothing short of breathtaking.
