Amanda Addleman: Songs and Stories of Home

Amanda Addleman at Black Cat brings the New York City–based, San Francisco–raised vocalist, pianist, composer, and arranger home for a program exploring the fusion of her two worlds: her Bay Area roots and her growing New York presence. Her voice is rooted yet unmistakably modern, built on a sincere reverence for jazz’s great traditions and paired with original works and jazz-hued interpretations drawn from contemporary folk, R&B, and pop. Addleman holds a master’s from Manhattan School of Music and a bachelor’s from Berklee College of Music, teaches at Long Island University’s Roc Nation School of Music and the Manhattan School of Music Precollege Division, and recently released Into the Light, a critically praised collection contrasting the light and dark moments of her life and career; she’s joined by bassist Nico Martinez and drummer Zach Adleman.
