Open Space Presents An Intimate Evening with

Hold onto your seats...Teresa Tudury returns to Vashon for an evening of music and side-splitting stage patter at Open Space. With a deep, sultry voice that magnetizes audiences, and a scathing comedic wit to match, Teresa is a consummate performer who pours out her original songs with power, verve, passion, and disarming humor. Teresa’s voice has been described as a cross between Bette Midler and Bonnie Raitt (LA Weekly). Her vocal stylings are perfectly complemented by her bluesy guitar playing.

Last seen one year ago in the April 2011 Church of Great Rain, Teresa takes audiences on a musical journey of wild and powerful songs and stories from the depth of her incredibly rich and inspiring repertoire. An absolute original, Teresa wakes up the music scene wherever she goes, from her San Francisco roots to the Greek Islands to New York and LA. If you saw her at Church, we bet you’ll be back. If you did not, get your tickets and be ready for a high flying ride! This is going to be an intimate evening with an incredible artist.

Throughout her career, Teresa has recorded or performed with such greats as Leonard Cohen, Rickie Lee Jones, Lyle Lovett, Taj Mahal, Leo Kottke, Charlie Musselwhite, Stevie Coyle and Bonnie Bramlett. Now residing in Sonoma County, Teresa continues to perform and write new material. She has just released Such Fine Things, her latest CD. Her earlier recordings (1992 Teresa Tudury, and the 2002 River Of Life) were recently rereleased. With these recordings and a steady stream of concert appearances, Teresa is a gifted artist in her prime.

"Teresa Tudury is an undiscovered gem, boasting scads of talent and a command of both language and music, which she demonstrates in ample portions. Like a cross between Tracey Ullman and the early Bette Midler, an evening with Tudury is part comedy show, part sensitive singer-songwriter concert and part cabaret act and all immensely enjoyable...In her zany between-song patter Tudury is so uninhibited she makes Robin Williams seem restrained.... Plus, Tudury can certainly sing. Possessed of a deep, sultry voice which she dresses in heavy blues phrasing and adorns with generous swatches of vibrato, Tudury evoked every nuance out of her quirky novelty tunes and belted out her off-beat torch songs."
