Vocalist, Tish Adams is a favorite on
New England's live music 'scene.' She has a compelling stage presence
and an extensive repertoire of time-honored Standards. She offers
fresh interpretations, yet sets a sentimental mood - a passionate
tribute to rich Jazz tradition. Her show is seasoned with long-forgotten
gems, obscure treasures and a dash of the Blues. She can burn an up-tempo
swinger or melt the audience with her sensitive reading of a slow,
smoky ballad. Fans compare her to the "great ladies of Jazz."
Musicians call her "a natural." She has acquired a faithful
following. One listen will explain why. |

Blues:
|
Tish's
originals are delightfully funny or as low-down as can be. Her lyrics
are playful and cleverly written. She's turned unexpected topics into
great Blues stories. One in particular (inspired by the Anne Rice
novel, Interview With The Vampire) is a popular audience request.
Her fans were overjoyed when she released The Vampire Blues as a CD-single
on Halloween 2004. |

Surprises:

Tish
has been offered musical opportunities that she never anticipated.
She produced a weekly live music series for Rhode Island's Providence
Bookstore Café. Bringing in top-flight Jazz players from Maine
to New York City, she created a 'scene' that both fans and musicians
flocked to for most of the '90's… and still reminisce about today.
Since 1993, her Vocal Performance Workshop has helped teenagers to
discover, explore and develop their singing voices - and even more
importantly, their self-confidence. This class is offered as an arts
elective at School One, an innovative non-profit private high school
(school-one.org).
In 2000, she was asked to write (and ultimately record) lyrics for
the original tunes used in the JazzKids music education program (jazzkids.com).
The resulting CD is entitled Vocal Swing.
She also performs live for little ones. Catch her every February and
August at Jazz For Kids, a presentation of Rhode Island-based winery,
Greenvale Vineyards (greenvale.com). She can provide an interactive
kids concert for your venue, with her own Jazz From The Start.
Vocalists & Localists, her weekly commercial-free radio broadcast
(from the University of Rhode Island), allows her to share the music
of others, while promoting the performers and venues of New England's
live Jazz 'scene.' Tune her in locally, from 8 to 10am every Thursday
morning, at 90.3FM WRIU - Kingston or wriu.org. |

Tish
