Mercedes Nicole

Soft –spoken Mercedes Nicole has an intimate and electric stage presence that reaches beyond the limits of time and space.  Whether it’s the Blues or Jazz, music is in her blood!  She has that kind of voice that demands attention, not because of volume, but because it touches the heart and interrupts one’s thoughts.  Her voice wraps itself like a comforter around the human experience, encouraging uplift, seeking not only triumph but healing.
