Act Bio

Lorna Willhelm is a blues/jazz vocalist based in Waco, Texas. A newcomer to the music scene, she has developed a reputation as “the girl from Texas with the great big voice.”
She began singing at an early age moving between country, folk and rock. A love of all music moved her to explore jazz and blues and this fusion was the catalyst for developing her voice. As a music student at McLennan Community College she studied under Austin jazz diva Beth Ullman.

Waco, Texas' up and coming vocalist interprets blues and jazz favorites and defines new standards. Lorna has refused to limit herself to one style of music but the blues are always in the thread of every song.
Her live performances win new converts to this fusion of blues, rock, swing and jazz. She can move from spicy rhythms into the moodiness of love lost, continuing the tradition of singers who understand the power of phrasing. Her passion is to have fun, make great music and leave the audience feeling good with the blues!
