SHANA TUCKER is a "ChamberSoul" cellist and singer/songwriter whose
music is a sultry blend of acoustic pop and soulful, jazz-influenced
contemporary folk. Her grooves embody a bossa-nova/latin heartbeat,
translated through percussive vocal phrasing. Shana's cello resonates
with the thump of walking blues & old-timey bass lines, and her voice
is like a delicious coffee blend: bold and robust, with subtle
undertones of bittersweet. The resulting effect is that of acoustic
intimacy: artist and audience grow closer within the musical cocoon
Shana weaves with her lush melodies and heartfelt lyrics. --

"You rarely see Joni Mitchell invoked as a reference point...because
her music is so uniquely individual that few can follow her. But in
Shana Tucker, we have a worthy successor."David Menconi, News and
Observer (Raleigh, NC)
"Most importantly, the songs tell a story; that's what a work of art
should do...making the audience realize that life is universal...
Compelling, distinctive, a sure sign of greater things to come."Larry
Reni Thomas, JAZZTIMES
"An absolute stunner... Her original gumbo of jazz, folk and R&B
evokes the spirit of Bill Withers and Esperanza Spalding."Cliff
Bellamy, Herald Sun (Durham, NC)
"Her voice alone would support a career. What makes Tucker special is
her adherence to the cello, boldly taking the instrument into new
territory. Much like vocalist Esperanza Spalding with her double bass,
Tucker and her cello blur the lines in our heads that divide
classical, jazz, folk, R&B and soul... The only emotion not catalogued
is fear. Tucker's debut is a gold piece of vulnerability, meticulously
executed and gorgeously produced. Transcending obstacles, SHINE is
acoustic music for inner rooms, with the human soul as resonating
chamber. She burned down the house."Sylvia Pfeiffenberger,
