Wendi Slatons most recent
release is appropriately titled Worthy...
"Worthy
is the result of over a decade spent suppressing, resisting, and questioning the
validity of my voice as an instrument, as a writer, and as a human."
Two nationally distributed
albums ... touring to support each release ... over a decade of songwriting split
between Texas, Los Angeles, Nashville, and Europe ... and over 1800+ live
performances. This is the brief history of Slatons music career. A native
Texan, Wendi cannot remember at time when music wasnt a part of her world. Her
voice, a powerful instrument, commands attention. Her sultry vocals are
reminiscent of the soul of Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, and early Melissa
Etheridge. Combine this with introspective lyrics and you get a passionate and
talented artist with depth.
It is apparent in every performance
that Wendi is in her element on stage. Whether you catch her playing in an
intimate coffeehouse or for an audience of thousands she will captivate you with
her dynamic energy. In 2003, Wendi incorporated the dramatic arts into her love
for performing. She was accepted into The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in
L.A. and quickly proved to be a natural in front of the camera consistently
being cast in commercials, TV, films, and theater productions. Wendi will be
touring with the musical A Ride with Bob beginning in June of 2006. She plays
an amazing 12 different characters and shares the stage with nine time Grammy
winners Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel.
Listeners relate to Wendis raw
emotion and the vulnerability that makes her music powerful. It is an undeniable
passion for Wendi to express this music.
"I feared
success, failure, rejection, and acceptance equally. I told myself I was too
old, not good enough driven enough ... I prayed for strength, grace, guidance, and
faith and the universe gave me Worthy."
