INTRODUCING JACKIE EVANCHO
It is our privilege to introduce you to Jackie Evancho. She is a 9 year-old songbird with a blessed gift from Heaven. That is the only way to account for her “old soul” sound and gift of visual interpretation she shares with audiences. From a remarkably young age, Jackie has had amazing control of her voice, a rich timbre to her sound and beautiful tonal quality across her current range of low F to high E.
Although she can perform to perfection in many different musical genres, Jackie aspires to a singing career in one of the fastest growing genres in the recording industry, Classical Crossover. A testament to this fact are EP sales from the likes of Il Divo, Josh Groban, Sarah Brightman and one of the genre’s most recent newcomers, Hayley Westenra.
Don’t take our word for it. Listen to Jackie’s rendition Giacomo Puccini’s aria “O Mio Babbino Caro” from the opera Gianni Schicchi – her soulful recording of Eric Clapton’s “Tears In Heaven” or even her classical touch to the hard-rocking sound of Evanescence’s “Bring Me To Life.”
Jackie's CD will be available on CDbaby as well as all the digital downloadsites, her fan forum and youtube channel for purchase in the first week of November 2009. On October 24, 2009, Jackie performed in concert with the David Foster and Friends Concert Tour as a regional finalist in his Hitman Talent Search Contest. In August of 2009, she was signed to WonderWorld TV as their first entertainment artist and will be performing at the 2009 Boston Music Awards. she has completed 3rd command performance by Pennsylvania State Senator Jane Orie on September 10 in rememberance of our flight 93 heros. She has sung for the likes of General Tommy Franks as well as General Chuck Yeager.
