Jazz Songstress Teresa Williams

Musically speaking…. “Just as the hollows of an instrument determine its sound, it is the hollows in our soul that determine our song. I am working to find the truth of my song and sing it with fearless abandon.” – TKW

Born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, with an early childhood in Colorado, it is Eufaula, Alabama that she called home growing up. An historic antebellum town of weeping willows and lakes, verdant gardens and majestic estates, Eufaula is the best part of the “Old South”- lush, dreamy, mysterious and welcoming. So, too, is her supernal alto voice; delicate and emotive, sultry yet sincere. It is clear. She means what she sings. A serious student of the art of jazz, she studies privately with world class jazz pianist Kevin Bales, absorbing the traditions, language and repertoire. At night she can be found performing in local clubs or private corporate events with the best in the Atlanta jazz community and beyond; as well as the historically rich tradition of the local jazz jam scene – sitting in, testing her musical waters and working toward making her musical mark. A veteran show band singer (and practicing Architect by day), she has taken her time to hatch out of her shell as a solo artist. Currently, she is actively recording her first jazz vocal CD (due to be released in early Spring of 2017) as well as developing her original country jazz project “Luna Twang”, a musical umbrella group meant to encompass jazz in general, all things Johnny Mercer in particular, rootsy originals and yodeling to her hearts content.

ONE SHOW ONLY:  7:00pm        Admission:  $23.
