In a span of two decades, 11 recordings and countless stage performances, vocalist Ren\u00e9 Marie has cemented her reputation as not only a singer but also a composer, arranger, theatrical performer and teacher. Guided and tempered by powerful life lessons and rooted in jazz traditions laid down by Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington and other leading ladies of past generations, she borrows various elements of folk, R&B and even classical and country to create a captivating hybrid style. Her body of work is musical, but it\u2019s more than just music. It\u2019s an exploration of the bright and dark corners of the human experience, and an affirmation of the power of the human spirit.
