Born and raised in the United States, Veronica Swift has been at home on the stage since childhood.

Swift is not only hailed as one of the brightest talents of her generation, but also as one of its most versatile singers.

With albums like Confessions and This Bitter Earth, she has risen to the forefront of 21st-century jazz vocalists, known for her virtuosic brilliance, inventive interpretations, exceptional songwriting and sharp arrangements.

Although her first two albums cemented her place in contemporary jazz, Veronica Swift’s third release, simply titled Veronica Swift, proves that she is far more than just a jazz singer. Her work weaves together influences from French and Italian opera, European classical music, bossa nova, blues, industrial rock, funk, and even vaudeville. As a fearless experimenter, Swift’s masterful and expressive voice remains unwaveringly authentic. Now, her latest creative ventures will come to life on the Christmas Jazz stage, and one thing is certain – this is a performance you won’t want to miss!
