Stacey Kent

  • Venue: Duncan-Williams Performance Hall 1801 Exeter Road Germantown, TN, 38138 United States (map)

Stacey Kent is a jazz singer in the mold of the greats. Her most recent release, I Know I Dream: The Orchestral Sessions, was described by All About Jazz as “an intoxicating understatement at its finest…. [O]ne more jewel in a discography with many, it's one that deserves singling out for its luster.”

  With a catalog of 11 studio albums including the Platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated Breakfast on the Morning Tram and an impressive list of collaborations, Stacey has graced the stages of more than 50 countries over the course of her career. Kent paid her dues in the jazz clubs of London, cementing her reputation as a singer capable of putting a distinctive stamp on an impressive repertoire of standards.

  Almost overnight, Stacey transformed from a singer of the Great American Songbook to a singer with a highly distinctive and personal repertoire. Since then, all of Stacey's albums have been punctuated by original songs with a variety of lyrics in English, French, and Portuguese.
