Bio
Taste and understatement. Swing and savoir faire. Grace and grooves. Intimacy and panache. Singer Charmin Michelle delivers all of the above and more. Ms. Michelle's savvy art is both fresh and timeless. Her conversational style recalls such earlier greats as Billie Holiday and Nancy Wilson. Yet it's free of any tiresome camp or easy nostalgia. Charmin Michelle truly understands, feels and puts her imprint on small group swing singing. Though classically trained in piano and violin, Michelle didn't pursue a career in music until the early 90's. Since then she has has worked with many top musicians. Locally, with Doug Haining and The Twin Cities Seven, The Wolverines Trio, Joel Shapira, Cliff Brunzell and the Golden Strings and the Senders just to name a few, and internationally with Mulgrew Miller and Kirk Lightsey. She also performs concerts and festivals on a regular basis throughout Spain with the Ignasi Terraza Trio and saxophonist Toni Sola with the Gerard Nieto Trio. Currently she has three self produced CDs available. "Destination Moon", "HOT" & "Pure Imagination are all available at www.cdbaby.com.
