When you hear Nina Ferro perform, should you not quite believe your ears, then put your faith in Tony Bennett’s immaculate taste. After she had opened for him in concert, the great vocalist said of Nina Ferro: “She’s a fabulous performer with a knockout voice”. But you don’t need Mr. Bennett’s highly discerning musical ear to realize he is right. Once she starts to sing, you’ll know instantly that you are in the presence of a formidable talent. Just check your vital signs. Goosebumps? Check. Spine tingling? Absolutely. Emotions uplifted? You bet!

Nina Ferro is considered by her global peers as a vocal sensation, and has a following of fans, musicians and students from all over the world. Nina is a multi award-winning vocalist, songwriter, session, recording artist and elite vocal educator. With 8 solo albums to her credit, guest appearances on ARIA award winning albums and a performance history longer than one’s own arm, it’s no wonder Nina is one of the most sought after vocalists on the international circuit. Whether she’s swinging out a Jazz standard or belting out a soul ballad, there is no underestimating her unequaled talents!

For this show Nina will be presenting a program of her original material, including new works and a few choice covers.
