Shawn Colvin, Nina Storey at Chautauqua Auditorium
Colorado’s own Nina Storey opened the show, coming on at 8 p.m. to play a short set as people continued to file in. Storey displayed a dizzying vocal range, at times nearly overwhelming the PA. She could quickly go from a whisper to a heartfelt wail, especially on the last song of the set, “Woman,” where she held a note for an impressively long time. Storey spotlighted songs from her latest CD “So Many Ways From:me to:you,” mostly sticking to the piano for the set, including on “Mary is Walking.” Storey, who plays guitar left-handed, did use the guitar on the funk-tinged “Getting Over You,” which she sung with a sly smile.

Storey Time
“.....She's just released a new album, So Many Ways From: me To: you, an eclectic array of bluesy, acoustic pop or what Storey calls "21st century soul." The record is wildly diverse, but always charged with emotion and a kind swagger that tells you--no, commands you--to lift your chin against unlikely odds. "The themes on the album are a little bit more personal than I've done before," Storey says. "All the songs are strong, important songs without bells and whistles--they're completely uncensored, unabashed displays of emotion."

The sixth track on the album, "Getting Over You," is emblematic of the album as a whole. It begins bluesy and soul-filled, then transitions into a sultry pop hook. After the hook comes the grand climax: a big, celebratory chorus that will have you clapping along to the beat, hands in the air, before calling your ex to say, "Have a drink on me, sweetie, I ain't never coming back!"....”

Press Quotes:

“With a voice like hers pyrotechnics are redundant.” - People Magazine

“…Soulful sparkplug Nina Storey might well be called LA NIÑA …can stir up a storm when she belts out her self-penned soul-funk tunes. She’s starting to build an out-of-state audience and her album, “Shades” (on Colorado label Nina Storey Music), shows she has what it takes to become a national Storey.” - The Denver Post

“…But you soon learn her vulnerability is her strength. As her song “Looks Can Be Deceiving” off her self-titled CD illustrates, she is like a butterfly as her voice flits and flutters over the notes with delicacy, then in a blink of an eye, morphs into a raptor and plucks up a note and takes it and you for a ride. Storey’s voice can be described as nothing less than clear, powerful and agile.” - Boston Girl Guide

Tuned lithe, sexy and strong, Nina’s vocal instrument communicates loss, acceptance, and freedom in her indomitable eclectic style.” - Boston Girl Guide
