Wendy Colona Live at Chelsea Wine Bar

With a smoky voice and poetic lyricism borne of her rich Gulf Coast heritage, Wendy Colonna crafts songs that groove, waltz, and swagger through love, heartache, transformation, nostalgia and prayer. Colonna’s savory sound is reminiscent of a bevy of important female artists: the brash bluesy thing of Bonny Raitt, the pop genius of Carole King, the raw emotion and huge pipes of Joan Osborne, and the soul shout of Queen Aretha. It’s this kind of talent that brought Colonna acclaim as Austin American Statesman's "Best Singer-Songwriter in Austin 2007," helped her to win multiple songwriting awards and Famecast's Grand Prize in the pop category of their international talent competition.
