Description
Singer Celia Slattery's original music weaves elements of jazz, pop and folk/rock with perceptive lyrics inspired by artists like Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Richard Thompson, all of whose music she also covers. The songs touch upon broad-ranging themes including friendship, the effects of war, and overcoming cynicism.
Celia is available with her band for touring at clubs, colleges, and arts centers.
In live performance, Celia weaves music with stories and humor. Celia's backup can range from a duo with accompanist Mark Shilansky (for intimate venues), to a full band including keyboard, bass, guitar and drums (recommended for larger venues).
A master teacher of voice and performing arts, Celia offers workshops in conjunction with performances. These can be tailored to the individual venue and can appeal to all ages and skill levels.
