Here comes another round of NYC-jazz-tales by vocalist/actress
Verena McBee aka ‘Ladybug’ and her perception of the greatest thing on earth: Living in New York City.
Of course, her musical stories include all the steps there are to watch, while you’re slippin’ and slidin’ through metropolitan life, dealing with a city of that magnitude with literally everything in it... including amazing performers &  friend: This said, expect some surprise and very special guest in the show &
Enjoy another episode of ladybug and her trio living the jazz life –
Near the top of the world.

 

Be cool. Take a ride. Get that swing.
‘Nobody promises a romance: More common are adventures of sorts.’

(Don’t) Forget your Xanax! It will be a trip!

____________________________________________________________________

“She is fearless in her improvising and holds her own with the fast company.” (By jazz historian Scott Yanow, 2018)

“McBee is adventurous and explorative (...). Her vocal tone is audacious and bold.
She is not afraid to use her voice in the most envelope pushing ways.”("5-Finger-Review" by Elberton Cisnero, 12/23rd 2018)

“McBee is not an a-typical vocalist, her sense of phrasing, timing and ability to navigate (...) melodies is a task most vocalists would struggle to endure. (...) Her ability to tackle and ever moving harmonic landscape further exemplifies her command vocally.” ("Chalked Up Reviews" by Amity Hereweard, 07/19th 2018)

“Angular and muscular this is not a vocalist singing standards album, this is a lyricist deeply committed to the lyrics and melodies she is singing.” ("Staccatofy” by Steph Cosme, 02/7th 2018)
