By age 21, singer/songwriter Michelle Amador had already
written a full-length musical, and before that, the music for USC
productions of Buchner's Woyzeck and Sophocles' Antigone. Her works have
been premiered by legends such as jazz bassist Buster Williams, and
premiered as part of visual art installations at the Laumiere Sculpture
Garden in St. Louis, Missouri. She's served as Artistic Director/Creator
of Jazz Beyond presented by Adobe Systems opening for Jason Moran and the
Bandwagon at the San Jose Jazz Festival and featured at Yerba Buena Center
for the Arts and BAMcaf. But for all her precociousness, Michelle and her
"silken-voiced" (SF Chronicle) songs which draw influence from Bjork,
Portishead, Jill Scott and Joni Mitchell have the laid-back feel of a
crooner. Hear for yourself, when Michelle performs backed by her stellar
live band.
