Sandra Marlowe is a singer whose musical career has been a life pilgrimage of identity - exploring, challenging, reinventing and persevering. From gospel-belting kid to white-knuckled opera singer to gear-toting “girl singer,” from kickin’ cabaret “mama” to church choir director to vocal teacher with verve, this performer has arrived at the zenith of her creative skills.

Possessing a rare versatility in timbre and range, a keen ear, and an interpretative approach that whistles boldly through the dark while seeking the light, Sandra Marlowe brings warmth and finesse, yet undeniable power and sheer sass, with an occasional “edge of your seat” surprise to True Blue., her debut jazz CD.
