Nancy’s ability to blend a spectrum of musical styles is attributed to her wide array of musical influences and experiences. Nancy began training as a classical vocalist at a young age. Nancy moved to Boston to further pursue her musical studies.

While in Boston, she had the opportunity to work with several Blues and R&B groups. Nancy realized her true passion for jazz when she performed with Russian saxophonist Igor Butman. Nancy then moved to New York, where she played in many of the city’s famous jazz clubs, such as the Blue Note, The Village Gate, Iridium, and Birdland numerous jazz festivals, including the Rochester International Jazz Festival and the Wall St. Jazz Festival.

Sylvia Bullett

Sylvia Bullett’s music is characterized by a dynamic blend of folk-rock, art-pop, and soulful storytelling. Her sound is deeply rooted in the Hudson Valley and Woodstock culture, often featuring haunting melodies and sophisticated arrangements that draw from her background as a classically trained pianist.

Bullett’s earlier career in the 1980s NYC scene included performing at iconic venues like CBGB and Gerde’s Folk City, as well as opening for the B-52’s and the Tom Tom Club.

On her 2021 album Area 52 Truck Stop, she explored a “dance record” sound featuring rhythmic collaborations with Fred Smith and Richard Lloyd of the band Television. Her most recent album, Flying Machine, has received global airplay. She will be performing some tracks from her sixth album, Phoenix Song, to be released this summer.
