CAROLINE WATERS

With a stylistic comfort zone nestled snugly between George Gershwin, Joni Mitchell and Norah Jones, Norwegian Singer/ songwriter and composer Caroline Waters is one of those rare artists who have the ability to transform pain and heartache into strenght and a love of life that resonates throughout their music. Graced with a clear and tender voice, the multiinstrumentalist is part sultry jazz diva, part international minstrel and part idealistic folkster. Her latest release is a tribute to some of the artists who have influenced her, including Leonard Cohen, Suzanne Vega, Jennifer Warnes and more.Don Quixote's; $10: 7:30pm.
