Melody Gardot, Part of the Jazz at The Cabaret Series

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see <>multi-Grammy nominated singer-songwriter and musician Melody Gardot live. Gardot's music is unable to be defined by genre – ranging from soulful, sultry, and sassy, to rich and emotive. As she’s risen to stardom, she’s released six albums and been compared to such greats as <>Nina Simone, <>Joni Mitchell, <>Diana Krall, <>Norah Jones, and <>Cassandra Wilson – heady company for someone who has only just turned 32.

The story of this vocalist, guitarist, and pianist is remarkable; blessed with a beautiful alto voice and grand insight as a songwriter, Gardot overcame a life-threatening bicycle accident as a teenager, leaving her disabled – then discovered the true depth of her musical gifts during her recovery. Hidden behind dark glasses and a tempting smile is an extraordinary young woman whose daily struggles feed her artistic pursuit and mark her as a true original. She possesses a bluesy, jazz-oriented style and dusky persona that reflect not only her afflictions, but also the hope and joy that music provides.
