Pawleys Island Festival Music & Art, 7pm, Reserve Club, Litchfield, tickets 843-626-8911
From the singularly distinctive Spivey Hall to the Smith Center’s Jazz Cabaret, or to the center of a groove at Cliff Bell’s in Detroit or the Velvet Note in Atlanta, cellist/singer-songwriter SHANA TUCKER delivers a unique voice through her self-described genre of ChamberSoul™.

With a deep respect for lyrical storytelling, Shana’s melodies weave strong hints of jazz, classical, soulful folk, acoustic pop and a touch of R&B into a distinctive rhythmic tapestry. After having balanced performances in theatres, clubs and festivals with her role as featured cellist/vocalist in Cirque du Soleil’s KÀ in Las Vegas, for the past 5 years, Shana returns to full-time touring in 2017, with new collaborations in the offing, including her sophomore recording project, set for release before the end of the coming year.
ChamberSoul™ aptly describes what the listener should expect when experiencing Shana’s music. “I’m intrinsically drawn to ‘real’ instruments, with resonance, tone and depth that can sound without amplification. Whenever and however possible, I always try to set a tone of acoustic intimacy on stage and with the audience, so that the music, performers and audience feel close and tangible, no matter the size the venue.”
International airplay of Shana’s debut recording, SHiNE, continues to win fans and recognition around the globe. Her music is in continuous rotation, consistently charting on jazz and adult contemporary radio stations in North America and overseas. SHiNE recently garnered a sub-publishing deal with Inpartmaint – Tokyo, and is now available in retail stores and online in Japan.
Shana is devoted to arts education for students of all ages, and works to incorporate inspiring outreach experiences with workshops and classes wherever she appears. She also has green smoothies or coffee for breakfast.
