A favorite at jazz clubs and festivals nationally as well as abroad, Vanessa Rubin performs great jazz in grand style. This impressive song stylist has a crystalline voice that balances warmth and sass, and she tackles challenging material with depth and ease. A torchbearer of musical stories, she creates performances of diverse musical influences to create moods that shift seamlessly between a soulful intimate conversation to a sassy musical romp at a smoky club. And she does so with undeniable joy and a clear admiration and respect for the works she performs. Her impact isn’t limited to the stage, though. She is also an actress and is heavily invested in working as an educator and clinician with youth in communities. Catch her with her trio this summer at North To Shore.
