New Studio Album from Pink Martini Co-Lead Singer!
American renaissance woman and vocal superstar Storm Large presents her first major release with her new band Le Bonheur, available on Heinz Records.
On Le Bonheur (French for "The Happiness"), Storm shares her vision of a genre-free world, collecting songs born of French chanson, jazz standards, heavy metal, smokehouse lounge, and a handful of originals. She has woven them all together into her own singular sonic tapestry to create an unrestrained and impassioned exploration of love, desire, and truth. From a heart-thumping rock-ballad rendition of Cole Porter's classic "I've Got You Under My Skin" to a salsa/bilingual take on Black Sabbath's "N.I.B.," music fans of any genre will find a piece of themselves in Le Bonheur.
Storm has sung Kurt Weill at Carnegie Hall, lead Pink Martini at the Hollywood Bowl, received rave reviews on the theatrical stage, written a best-selling memoir, and created the genre "lounge-core." She is able to mesmerize rock and classical fans alike, and is equally at home in dive bars, symphony halls, and jazz clubs.
"[Large] was sensational in a Brecht-Weill experiment of dipping country innocence serially into urban decadence and seeing what comes out." -The New York Times
"Large's voice is a Swiss army knife, and she spent her show slicing through the limits of the Great American Songbook. She touched on jazz, rock, show tunes, and the orchestra's classical presence, no genre out of reach of her flawless vibrato." -The Oregonian
