Event Details
Join us for An Evening with Nicolas Bearde: From Ballads to Blues at Meyhouse Jazz in San Ramon.
A singer, songwriter, and recording artist, Nicolas Bearde is known for his smooth baritone sound, refined musicality, and natural connection with the audience. Since moving to the Bay Area from Nashville in the 1980s, he has become a treasured voice in the local and international jazz scene, bringing together the spirit of jazz, blues, and soul with elegance and ease.
This program showcases Bearde’s distinctive blend of genres, as he continues to evolve and push the boundaries of jazz and blues — making him a stand-out voice in today’s jazz world.
Bearde was a founding member of Bobby McFerrin’s renowned vocal ensemble Voicestra, touring internationally with the group for more than 15 years. He has released six solo albums as a bandleader and currently serves as vocalist and narrator for saxophonist Vincent Herring’s Story of Jazz Orchestra, a New York–based project that traces 100 years of recorded jazz.
For this special evening, Bearde is joined by a stellar quartet for an expressive, soulful performance — from intimate ballads to blues-inflected grooves — led by one of the Bay Area’s most distinguished jazz vocalists.
