ATHENA with percussionist JIMMY C, brings her original soul music with spirit to the evening's concert. From tender ballads to belting bluesy, jazz-tinged wails, Athena gets the audience going from the first note. Her engaging style, humor, and passion for music brings audiences to their feet time and time again. ATHENA trained at the Berklee College of Music as a jazz pianist and vocalist. Fronting her own band for years in Boston and traveling the country, ATHENA has gained wide experience as a performer. Melding jazz, world rhythms, pop, folk and blues, ATHENA's music brings in themes of love, loss, longing, connection and spirit. Her goal is to bring people together using music as a touchstone.
