THE WORLD OF
CAROL WELSMAN
Ms. Welsman is a diva for all seasons. She is not restrained by dogmatic music and rigidly dictated style. She is not a cliche. When she sings, she tells the story of the song and what makes the song echo truthful feeling and intimate emotions. Here and there, now and then, she pauses for a while, walks toward her adoring fans and begins to talk to them...she loves to ask them questions and she loves to hear their answers...she tells them stories, true stories or stories she fabulously creates, she recounts jokes and anecdotes about the Swing era divas and how they influenced her music. she smiles, she wonders, she laughs, she dialogues with the audience, she walks on stage, steals the stage and runs away with it. She simply takes the audience by storm. This vivacious direct rapport with her public created her irresistible stage presence. And of course, her stunning beauty add fuel to the fire.
