O.Henry Hotel Cocktails & Jazz: April Talbott *NO TICKETS REQUIRED*

April Talbott is a vocalist, dance instructor, and social media manager in Greensboro, NC. She started singing onstage at church at the age of 7 and hasn’t stopped since. Her love of music was encouraged and fostered by a mom who took her to musicals at a young age and a dad who shared with her his love of Herb Alpert, Eric Clapton, and BB King. She majored in Theatre Arts and minored in Voice at Averett University in Virginia, and immediately upon graduation began singing professionally. After relocating to the Triad, she joined Nobody’s Business, a jazz quartet that entertained guests on the East Coast with classic renditions from the Great American Songbook. With Nobody’s Business, April entertained audiences as the house band at Adam’s Inn in High Point, NC, and at various festivals including the John Coltrane Jazz Festival and Winston-Salem Arts Festival. April performed for First in Flight Entertainment in a one-woman song and dance WWII tribute at Veteran’s events and museums and choreographed for various dance studios, music videos, and weddings. In addition to her career as a jazz singer, she is a rock vocalist, sharing a stage with her band, Impersona, a math rock project, and Resonate, an acoustic duo with guitarist, Brett Nooe. Her singing style is deeply influenced by an eclectic mix of artists such as Gregg Allman, Toni Braxton, Sarah Vaughn, Chris Cornell, Julie London, Linda Rondstat, and Diana Krall. April is thrilled to return to O Henry, her absolute favorite Triad spot to play.
