Sights & Sound Series: Shana Tucker

Shana Tucker is a cellist, singer-songwriter, and front-line advocate for arts education who engages packed houses through candid song-storytelling and her own acoustic blend of jazz and soul. Shana was invited by Cirque du Soleil to be cellist/vocalist for their show KÀ in Las Vegas, where she performed for five years before returning to North Carolina. She continues to be a highly sought-after collaborator, having performed and recorded with legendary jazz saxophonist/composer Bennie Maupin, jazz flutist/composer Nicole Mitchell, Grammy-nominated NuSoul collective The Foreign Exchange, and countless others. Shana’s unique genre of ChamberSoul™ weaves jazz, roots, folk, acoustic pop, and a touch of R&B into melodies that will echo in your head for days. She’s a rare performer you’ve never seen the likes of before—and one you’ll never forget.
