New, Nicole tom-parr-6

Nicole New is Detroit’s leading female band leader, alluring audiences with her sensitive and soulful voice. Her velvety yet powerful voice, reminiscent of Billy Holiday yet with her own modern sound, developed from Motown influences. Nicole’s eclectic style of singing, drawing from her early influences of performing jazz, pop, opera, and musical theatre, has transformed into a sound all her own. Nicole studied classical voice but quickly fell in love with jazz and began a career exploring those sounds, creating new arrangements to standards of the Great American Song Book. She continues to work with musicians across the U.S. to create new and interesting projects spanning all genres, and she will be releasing an album this spring. Nicole continues to make a lasting impression, wowing fans with her rich tone and rhythmic phrasing, and venues such as Cliff Bell’s, Steinway Jazz Café, the Midland Symphony, and most recently the Jackson Symphony Orchestra have become a welcoming venue for this dynamic performer. Be sure to check out her schedule if you are in the Detroit area, as she hosts a Jazz Jam every month at the Sugar House and other haunts around town.
