Veronica Swift
The Tarkington // Saturday, Sep 14, 8pm ET
Veronica Swift established herself as one of the world’s top young jazz singers with her first two albums, Confessions (2019) and This Bitter Earth (2021), showcasing her virtuosic technique, interpretive ingenuity, bracing songwriting and keen arrangements. She describes her latest album, 2023’s Veronica Swift, as “transgenre,” with influences that include French and Italian opera, European classical music, bossa nova, blues, funk and industrial rock. “As rooted in jazz as I’ve been, there’s a uniquely visceral power in rock and soul music that’s always fueled my creative passion,” she says. “The people I admire most show themselves unabashedly, and that’s the kind of tradition I want to be a part of.”
