With two albums to her credit, Marina Crouse is an astonishingly talented singer in Spanish and English both, whether it’s a jazz classic, a scorching blues number, a soulful Mexican ballad or an irresistible and clever original. Blessed with a deeply expressive voice early in life, her early classical training underlies her powerful vocal delivery. She traverses a wide range of material, delivering an emotional authenticity that consistently cuts deep.

“When I sing,” she says, “I feel like I break myself open and let a little piece of myself come out. I’m reaching out to people with hopes to connect on a personal level. And when we do, that to me is better than anything else.”

Plus, she’s a lot of fun to hear, especially with this top drawer instrumental trio!
