Wendy Colonna August 10, 2010

Award-winning songwriter and performer Wendy Colonna’s music is a savory gumbo of southern soul and poetic lyricism borne of her rich Gulf Coast heritage. Evocative and powerful, her voice ignites both memory and desire.

Among her recent accolades, Wendy was voted “Best Singer Songwriter” in Austin (Austin American-Statesman), received Grand Prize in the Famecast International Talent Competition and has earned multiple songwriting awards.

The inspiration for Wendy’s latest album – “We Are One” – is clear: you only truly know something when you’ve both lived it up close and viewed it from afar. That’s why this album isn’t a return to her Louisiana roots so much as it is a harnessing of those roots toward a new purpose – gathering up the ghosts and teaching them a new dance.

Acclaimed producer Papa Mali joined Wendy in producing a collection of songs that are dirty, swampy, soulful, and sticky with gulf-coast humidity and harmonies.
