Episode Notes From Her Website: http://www.ShanaTucker.com With a deep respect for lyrical storytelling, cellist/singer-songwriter SHANA TUCKER delivers a unique voice through her self-described genre of ChamberSoul™. Shana's melodies weave strong hints of jazz, classical, soulful folk, acoustic pop and a touch of R&B into a distinctive rhythmic tapestry. Touted by JazzTimes Magazine as a jazz talent "...whose imprint and vitality has already been quite visible...” Shana’s style and sound as been described as a blend of Dianne Reeves, Joni Mitchell, and Tracy Chapman, with an efficient complexity that is reminiscent of Bill Withers. ChamberSoul™ best describes what the listener should expect when experiencing Shana's music. "I’m intrinsically drawn to "real" instruments, with resonance, tone and depth that can sound without amplification. Whenever and however possible, I always try to set a tone of acoustic intimacy with my colleagues on stage, and also with the audience, so that the music, performers and audience feel close and tangible, no matter the size the venue." Growing up on Long Island, NY as a beneficiary of public school arts education, Shana's classical cello and singing talents awarded her a scholarship to Howard University in Washington, DC, where she was first introduced to jazz and other essential musical resources, on campus and around the city. While at Howard, Shana initiated her improvisation chops and honed her songwriting skills, but decided to relocate to NYC to study with master cellist Marion Feldman and complete her undergraduate studies in performance at CUNY-Brooklyn College Conservatory of Music. An NPR interview about Shana's debut CD, "SHiNE" and her ChamberSoul style prompted an invitation from Cirque du Soleil to join the company as cellist/vocalist for their show, KÀ in Las Vegas, where she stayed and performed for five years before returning to North Carolina. With collaborations as the cornerstone of her artistry, Shana is currently a featured artist performing with legendary jazz saxophonist/composer Bennie Maupin; jazz drummer/composer Shirazette Tinnin and Sonic WallPaper; Grammy-nominated NuSoul collective, The Foreign Exchange. Her newest project, Women's Work, a female-led collective of jazz, soul and pop singer-songwriters and musicians representing both east and west coasts. Having opened for internationally-acclaimed artists including Norah Jones, Lisa Fischer, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Hamiet Bluett, Javon Jackson, the Blind Boys of Alabama, and Indigo Girls, Shana's vocals and cello are featured on several studio and live recording projects by both independent and signed label artists and producers. She also devotes a considerable amount of her time to working with students in schools & universities, community centers and summer camps throughout the year as part of her mission to promote arts education programming for students of all ages. Shana is a recipient of two Nevada Arts Council grants, including the prestigious Performing Artist Fellowship for her exemplary work as a singer-songwriter, cellist and teaching artist. She serves on review panels and advisory committees for arts organizations across the country. She is also a board member for Carolina Wren Press, a Durham, NC-based small-press organization that publishes diverse minority writers of quality fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and children's literature. A front-line advocate for arts education, Shana is a newly-designated A+ (Arts Integration) Schools Apprentice Fellow, and has been a teaching artist with Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts (NC and NV) since 2015. She has also been a teaching artist with United Arts Council of Raleigh/Wake County NC and The Smith Center for Performing Arts - Las Vegas. Shana incorporates artist-in-residences, workshops and community outreach opportunities wherever in the world her performances take her.

052: Daniel WrightGood morning! This is Play It Like It’s Music. I’m Trevor, thanks for listening.[photo by Josh Soskin]On Wednesday, August 19th of 2020 Music is not content, it’s connection.And some of you will remember when I picked that tag line out. It was a few months ago, soon after I had restarted this podcast up in January. It came to me in a flash, but I’ve been meditating on it every week with you and saying it out loud as often as the subject comes up in conversation, which is often.The meaning of it will be obvious to most of you, and you may be able to detect a thread of longing underneath it as well. A lot of us, myself definitely included, will pursue a life in music without really understanding what it is we’re after. After many years of trying to play by some set of “rules”, then giving that up in order to heal my heart, then deciding to just try and be transactional and make a simple living at it, then giving that up and taking on this narrowcasting project which you’re listening to now - I’m utterly convinced that we don’t just need music, we need to find each other inside of the music. It’s not about your personal taste, although your taste matters. I had an invigorating email and text marathon as I reached out to all of our previous 50 guests on the show so we could celebrate that milestone together. I got to catch back up with those dozens of accomplished musicians and I got so inspired that I had to make a playlist.Because I get it, we don’t always have the nose to listen to a podcast. Sometimes we want to feel the connection without following a conversation. The audience for this show is small but dedicated, and I keep getting very heartfelt feedback from you listeners that the show is helping you in some way. So I hear that something might be working for you, and I now present to you:“Playlist It Like It’s Music”:a music community you can carry with you wherever you go.Find it on Apple Music | SpotifyPut this thing on shuffle! I grabbed a song (give or take) from each artist we’ve had on the show, so you can dig deeper and also skip around to find your groove. Pass it to your friends, help the people find each other inside the music. If you decide you like somebody, go listen to their episode and buy their album. It’s up to us, and I’m here to try and connect the dots with you. I’ll keep adding to it each week.Everybody is on there, either as an artist or as a producer or contributing player. We’ve got Dope Sagittarius, Daniel Sadownick, Krystle Warren, Angela Parrish, Mother Feather, Kevin Chown, Artyom, Cremaine, Shana Tucker… call it Evening Becomes Eclectic or some such. It’s quite a mix. Enjoy!Today on the show we’re lucky to have with us a wonderful Songwriter and Producer, living in Ojai, CA.[photo by Josh Soskin]Daniel Wright is a former member of Song Preservation Society, currently fronts Radio Skies and is the owner and manager at Echo Magic.Echo Magic is a group of producers, songwriters, musicians, and sound designers who love making records and bringing visual storytelling to life through sound. They are a collective, a studio, a house band, a creative think tank, and most importantly they are friends obsessed with creating music and sound.[Cover Design by Aaron Taylor-Waldman, Portrait by Brendan Willing James]Daniel has just put out a gorgeous, simmering collection of new songs on an album called Wild House. It features performances and contributions from close friends and collaborators including Mikael Jorgensen of Wilco, Scott Hirsch of Hiss Golden Messenger, Karl Hunter of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Eric Sullivan of Lissie.He’s wonderful to work with (I can attest) and he’s also a great interview.

Episode 041: Shana TuckerThis is Play It Like It's Music, I'm Trevor, thanks for listening.[photos all by Jannelle Blackman]On Wednesday, May 27 of 2020 Music is not content, it's connection. The quarantine wears on, the death toll climbs and the life toll sits in limbo. I am here with another conversation today, and I'm super thankful that those of you players I know who listen to the show keep telling me you get so much out of this. It can be a damn lonely life*, but it doesn't have to be.*For cellists, especially! But not today, because I'm blessed to have Shana Tucker on the show.She's a cellist, singer-songwriter, arts advocate, teaching artist, collaborator and all-around cultural conduit. Shana is a builder-of-connections, whether she’s associating STEM concepts with backbeats or engaging a packed house through candid song-storytelling in performance. And she can really play! As a cello/singer guy I can't help but smile: Shana's unique genre of ChamberSoul™ weaves jazz, roots, folk, acoustic pop, and a touch of R&B into melodies that echo in your head for days. Plus, there's polish. She keeps busy on the road and in the studio, working with Bennie Maupin, Nicole Mitchell and The Foreign Exchange. She also worked in Cirque du Soleil, which we don't talk about at all. Why would we?She's got a band of her own. Shana is also a front-line advocate for arts education, as well as a recipient of several arts council grant awards for her exemplary work as a Performing Artist. She serves on review panels and advisory committees for arts organizations across the country.These are all big accomplishments, but what amazes me is how good she is at creating relationship around her work. We all need to get better at this, and I think Shana is a leader. She knows how to be a star and how to blend. This was so much fun, let's cut right to it.Press PLAY above to hear my conversation with Shana Tucker.Thanks for listening to Play It Like It’s Music.

Happy New Year to all my liberated soulheads who don't mind a little hybrid music and genre hopping for their soul. We go all the way live with nearly three hours of continuous, uninterrupted music, nearly all from the last decade. In honor of those of you who'll be hitting the gym to burn off that holiday weight, I included more than 30 minutes of uptempo R&B, house and funk right in the middle of the mix, so you can get your cardio on after warming up with some sounds to calm your nerves and ease the day. We hope you enjoy the first mix of the new year and look forward to continuing with even more LMG: The Soul Eclectics' Mix, the show that proves good music never died. In the meantime: stream, download, follow on Podomatic, subscribe on iTunes, and share the series with friends, but most of all…ENJOY!

Left of Black host Mark Anthony Neal welcomes independent artist and cellist Shana Tucker into the Left of Black studio at the John Hope Franklin Center. Tucker and Neal discuss her new fan-financed CD SHiNE and a style of music that Tucker calls “Chamber Soul.” Shana Tucker is a “ChamberSoul” cellist and singer/songwriter from New York currently based in North Carolina. Her music is a sultry pastiche of acoustic pop and soulful, jazz-influenced contemporary folk. Tucker’s debut solo project, SHiNE, outlines a musical journey that celebrates the major influences of everyday life: relationship, laughter, love…loss, rediscovery, and the never-ending journey towards heightened levels of peace, understanding and self-acceptance.
