Kendra Shank
Born:
Kendra Shank is "a superbly skilled vocalist" (New York Times) with a "delectable voice" (Time magazine) and "breathtakingly original concept" (Boston Globe).

Headlining at festivals, concerts, and clubs across the U.S. and internationally, Shank combines jazz originals, standards, world music, French chansons, folk/pop songs, and open improvisation in an adventurous, genre-bending style that inspired Abbey Lincoln to call her “an original; a singer with a sound.” Kendra Shank's six critically acclaimed CDs have garnered numerous "Best of the Year" awards, DownBeat poll recognition, and international airplay
