SHANA TUCKER: CHAMBERSOUL CELLO AND SONGS Lyrical storyteller. Soulful cellist. Dynamic singer-songwriter. That’s SHANA TUCKER. Her unique genre of ChamberSoul™ weaves together jazz, roots folk, acoustic pop, and a touch of R&B, into melodies that echo in your head for days. She’s the rare performer you’ve never seen the likes of before—and one you’ll never forget. Shana’s ChamberSoul is equal parts dynamic storytelling paired with rich, deep music that sits down next to you and puts its arm around your shoulders. “I’m intrinsically drawn to acoustic instruments because of their resonance, warmth, and intimacy,” she says. “ChamberSoul is all about the conversations music ignites…it brings musicians and audiences closer, and makes the music tangible, no matter how large or small the room is.” |
