Wimberly Recital Hall, Presser Hall
Hints of acoustic pop soulful folk, infused with strong undertones of jazz illuminate the ChamberSoul™ musical stories woven by cellist/singer-songwriter Shana Tucker. Touted by JazzTimes Magazine as “a jazz talent...whose imprint and vitality has already been quite visible...” Shana’s style and sound have been described as a curious mash-up of Joni Mitchell, Dianne Reeves, Ella Fitzgerald and Tracy Chapman, with an efficient complexity of songwriting reminiscent of Bill Withers. Following the release and promotion of her debut CD, SHiNE (MamaGooch Music), a radio interview on NPR led to an invitation to join the musical cast of KÀ by Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas, where Shana remained for 5 years before returning to a full-time schedule of performing, recording, collaborating on an international level. A committed arts education advocate, Shana is also a sought-after teaching artist, frequently presenting workshops and artist-in-residences in schools and communities across the country, for people of all ages and abilities, students and teachers and aspiring teaching artists alike.22 - Sun^11 a.m.SciFest ’26, Maker Faire Lynchburg by Vector Space
