With a voice The New York Times calls “as pure and sparkling as mountain spring water,” Tierney Sutton celebrates the American Songbook with traditional folk songs, Broadway melodies, Gershwin highlights and songs from Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story – music she documented on her GRAMMY-nominated 2011 release, American Road. An Omaha native, Sutton found her footing as a singer and bandleader shortly after arriving in her adopted home of Los Angeles in the mid 1990s, where she’s led one of the most durable working bands in jazz for the last two decades – a band that uniquely operates as a true collaborative unit in which the individual members make all musical and business decisions as partners.
