About the Artist
The story of vocalist, guitarist, and pianist Melody Gardot is remarkable; she’s persevered against abject adversity throughout her life. Blessed with a beautiful alto voice and grand insight as a songwriter, Gardot overcame a life-threatening bicycle accident early in her career. As amazing as her story is, what is more evident is that she possesses a blue, jazz-oriented style and dusky persona that reflect not only her afflictions, but conversely the hope and joy of making personalized music that marks her as an original.
“Gardot brings together the richness of all she hears, sees, tastes, and feels to create her own unique chic. … Between English, French, and Portuguese, Gardot helps us to experience the varied rhythms and flows of each language as if they were each a separate musical instrument, capable of expressing different emotions with each sound.” –Atwood Magazine
