VERONICA KLAUS BIO
Veronica Klaus is poised to record a new CD (her first in seven years) that will capture the exciting music and artistry of her acclaimed performances!
These last few years have been quite exciting as Veronica, along with the profoundly talented Tammy Lynne Hall-Hawkins on piano, superb bassist Daniel Fabricant and many other musicians, have been presenting some wonderful live music.
Veronica: "I love this music more than anything and it's time to make a new CD, to translate these performances to tracks that are classic yet compellingly present and capture the spirit of these concerts. With this new project I hope to present a collection of songs that will inspire, touch and entertain with a CD that will build a bridge to a bigger audience and reach out to the jazz stations and community while bearing my own unique signature. If you have seen our shows during the last several years, or enjoyed "Family Jewels - The Making of Veronica Klaus" I hope you will consider supporting me in this next chapter.
