Canadian Vocalists<br />

Flora Ware<br />

Described as both a “little-known vocal<br />

treasure” and “one of the rising jazz talents”<br />

in BC, vocalist Flora Ware is ready to step into<br />

a bigger spotlight. On this night, Flora will be<br />

playing original songs from her latest CD Insight<br />

(2008), as well as jazz and soul standards with a<br />

modern twist.<br />

On the strength of her Insight release, Flora<br />

appeared in 2008 at two popular festivals in BC<br />

- the Kaslo Jazz Fest and Rare Earth Jazz & Blues<br />

Fest in Vernon. She also did a Western Canadian<br />

tour with songstress Monica Lee. The BC Interior<br />

Music Awards nominated her for Best Jazz Artist<br />

of the Year in 2008.<br />

Co-produced by Rick Kilburn and Peter Berring,<br />

Insight appeals to a wide audience with its<br />

groovy mix of standards and original music<br />

influenced by Latin jazz, and Soul/R&B.<br />

Flora is developing a reputation as a performer<br />

who puts her soul into singing and who does<br />

not fit neatly into any one genre; she is part jazz<br />

diva, part folk singer, part cabaret performer.<br />

Whether it’s swing standards, R&B, or opera, she<br />

isn’t afraid to push the boundaries, delivering a<br />

comedic or seductive twist to a song.<br />

In 2009, Paul Grant featured Flora on his CBC<br />

radio show “Hot Air”. She completed a spring<br />

tour of the Kootenays in March 2009, after<br />

being awarded a touring grant from the<br />

Columbia Basin Trust. She also performed<br />

regularly in 2009 throughout<br />

the BC interior. Her 2010<br />

tour will include stops in<br />

Alberta, the BC coast,<br />

and Vancouver Island.<br />

Flora first appeared at<br />

the <strong>Yardbird</strong> <strong>Suite</strong> in 2006<br />

with the Charlie Austin Trio.<br />
