Brandy Moore loves to sing! It’s her passion to share the emotion and the story of a great song with live audiences. With impeccable phrasing and a soulful, beautiful voice, she moves seamlessly across genres, touching your heart with a warm, tender lyric one moment, then igniting your soul with passionate, fiery grit the next. She has performed in Canada, the United States, Mexico and Portugal, and has released five independent CDs to date. Her latest “Real Good Love” was recorded in Nashville with several prominent industry veterans including guitarist George Marinelli (Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Hornsby & the Range) and Grammy-winning saxophonist Phil Kenzie (Paul McCartney, The Eagles). With her easy, inviting stage presence and an unmistakable joy in what she does, she’s quickly becoming a local favourite. Backing her up are phenomenal jazz musicians Tony Genge (organ w/ left-handed bass, piano) and Jon Miller (drums, percussion). Be sure to catch this show – you won’t be disappointed!
