Synia Carroll returns to the Court Cabaret with her unique take on the music and sensibility of Nina Simone. A master storyteller in her own right, Synia brings her earthy, evocative singing style to Ms. Simone’s songbook, much of which came to prominence in the turbulent social dialogue of the 1960s. Synia’s interpretations demonstrates that these musical messages are no less relevant today.
