TIERNEY SUTTON
A 9-time Grammy nominee, Tierney Sutton has received a “Best Jazz Vocal Album” Grammy nomination for every project she has released in the last 15 years. Known for her impeccable voice and superbly imaginative arrangements, Sutton is heralded for her abilities as both a storyteller and her ability to make even the most familiar song a revelation.
Since 1993 Sutton has fronted “The Tierney Sutton Band” (TSB) which features instrumental virtuosos Christian Jacob, Trey Henry, Kevin Axt and Ray Brinker. On stage as well as on recordings, the band exhibits an “almost unearthly” connection, a tribute to having the same world-class personnel for over 25 years—a virtually unheard-of accomplishment in today’s music business. Incorporated partners, all decisions, musical or business are made by the band as a unit. In 2011 they received a Grammy nomination for their collaborative arranging, the only band ever to receive this honor. View the entire bio here.
