Bio
2011 Monday Magazine~ Jazz and Blues Artist of the Year!! 2011 Vancouver Island Music Awards Nominee for female vocalist of the year!! Based in Victoria, Maureen's voice captures the romance of popular 'standards' from the past with a fresh new sound and style. The vocals are warm, deep and pure. Maureen takes you on a journey of stories of love gone right and love gone wrong, she is impressive and enchanting, you'll be drawn away by the pure soul that resonates in her music from her own personal life. Maureen entertains audiences and gains their attention and respect by her honest humble approach. She is extremely warm, funny and approachable, by the end of the evening you feel that you have found a new best friend. So whether you are looking for a duo, trio, quartet or an electrifying dance band, Maureen will see that you are covered! .. .. .. .................... ...... .. .. .. ...................... .... Christmas Album available through ..ITunes.. .. .............. .... Baby it's Cold Out Side.... Review.. It's that time of year again, and this modern collection of traditional Christmas songs can make a great soundtrack for your holiday season. Choosing a thematically warm mix of blues and jazz as the basis for these classics proves to be a sophisticated approach, making this a great candidate for background music at your holiday cocktail party. Thanks to some great playing, the songs are loose and free, allowing the rich vocals plenty of space to explore the scope of the framework. While these songs are all instantly recognizable, the superior musicianship adds a uniquely creative aspect to these favorites that can't be underestimated. Focusing mostly on jazzy piano and guitar, the players exemplify a reserved precision that keeps the arrangements true to the original songs but also new and interesting. Certainly a fun way to start the holidays. REVIEW FROM "CD BABY" .. .... .... .. .. .. .... I edited my profile with ..Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6..! ....

Influences
My influences are everyone with passionate lyrics & cool sounds... I am rather eclectic... .. Some of my favorite musicians I like to listen to are Eva Cassidy, Diana Krall, Barenaked Ladies, Cold Play, David Gray, Jack Johnson, Peter Gabriel, Nina Simone, Kevin Proche, Alanis Morissette, Ben Harper, Joss Stone, Carmen Mc rae, Harry Connick Jr., Etta James, Stevie Wonder, Death Cab for Cutie... ..
Sounds Like
With a vocal style that encompasses the soul of Etta James, and Carmen McRae, the modernity of Holly Cole and the playfulness of Jann Arden, Maureen Washington evokes comparison to some of the great female Jazz singers of our time yet remains one of a kind.
