“A multitasking talent who swings her bass with a Mack-truck-powered lilt that would make her hero Ray Brown proud, and who transforms her smallish voice into a thing of delight” (The New Yorker), Katie Thiroux has become a bold standard-bearer for the emerging generation of jazz singer/instrumentalists. She brings her new project Mothers of the Music, inspired by motherhood and the advice she received from fellow female musicians about the life of an artist with children.
