Fine voice...uplifting songcraft bolstered by excellent musicianship...should not be missed.
Though it is clear that she is an accomplished
singer and storyteller, her technique never upstages the story.
Trained in theater, this singer/songwriter does it all. Her debut
CD, "Movin' On" features tunes from her one-woman cabaret/theater
piece "Moving Target". She also sings everything from folk to pop
and rock, jazz and R & B.
Talented!
A talented and versatile vocalist.
Never bland but always humane, Slattery's music
touches not only the ears but the heart.
