Venue details follow Artist Info ARTIST INFO Veteran—and phenomenal—songstress and vocal teacher Wendy Waller will fill Dala's Nest with her exciting, soulful voice, accompanied by Scott Sorkin (guitar) and Richard Girard (bass); returning by popular demand! Born and raised in the SF Bay Area, Wendy's performed and taught vocal music for decades, attended New England Conservatory of Music and studied with Patti Cathcart (of Tuck & Patti), Bobby McFerrin ("Don't Worry, Be Happy!"), David Baker, and Joe Henderson. Her wide vand deep vocal range enrich her mastery of jazz, R&B, folk, contemporary, gospel, and her own original music. A classically trained coloratura soprano, Waller has performed leading roles in musical theater and has released three albums: “Traces of Grace,” “Beauty Queen,” and “Dance of a Thousand Fools”; she sang on Chris Isaak's “Speak of the Devil" and has performed internationally as well as locally at venues such as the Throckmorton Theater, Tateuchi Hall at Finn Center, and Club Fox. www.wendywaller.com VENUE DETAILS ~ RSVPs confirmed/waitlist opened 2 days before the event.
