Veronica Swift first appeared at the Gallo Center as Chris Botti’s special guest during the 21/22 season. So impressed was our CEO, Chad Hilligus, Veronica was invited back for her own show last season as part of the Chad’s Picks series. If you were at either performance, then you know this added show announcement is very good news indeed. And if you didn't see one of those performances, well, now you have another chance to be wowed by this extraordinary artist.
Veronica first gained major international attention in 2015 when, at a mere 21 years of age, she won second place in the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz International Vocals Competition. Since then her star has risen dramatically thanks to an outpouring of critical praise as well as highly enthusiastic audience responses everywhere she goes. Artistically, Veronica crosses multiple genres in her performances. Her amazing jazz vocals are strongly infused with rock and pop influences ranging from Queen to Broadway.
