The timbre is velvety with a hint of relatable vulnerability

Verena McBee is a talent well worth discovering. Bird(s)wing is arguably her finest recording to date.

New Album: Bird(S)wing
Bird(S)wing takes flight with theatrical flair, jazz tradition and songs in both English and German. It is full of energy, romance and a few surprises, just like life itself.

Verena McBee
Verena McBee first came to New York City in 2004 out of curiosity and a need for inspiration. One night in a Manhattan jazz club she met her future husband and a whole new story began.
Once a freelance actress and singer in Europe, she discovered jazz and began shaping a sound that blends theatrical flair, heartfelt storytelling and songs in both English and German.
Every show is a mix of playfulness and depth, an invitation to connect, explore and leave feeling lighter than when you arrived.
