April 30 from 4-7 PM, Wendy Pedersen will perform in Club Rio at Casino Miami Jai-Alai, 3500 NW 37th Ave. Wendy is one of South Florida’s favorite performers. Her high-energy vocal delivery, with deep, convincing emotion has been impacting audiences for many years.

She has won many awards including the Southern Bell/Pace “Jazz Artist of the Year” and a Miami New Times “best vocalist”, saying, “Wendy can shake the rafters or break your heart…” Wendy Pedersen’s discography includes her debut CD, “Me + Three”; a Holiday CD, “Ho Ho Ho”; and her brand new release, “Under The Influence”, a tribute to the many women who inspired and influenced her. Wendy also sings with an exciting jazz vocal quartet, Mad Romance, featuring Rick Harris, Lisanne Lyons and Greg Diaz and performed with Debby Orta in “Jazz Gals,” a tribute to the music of Billie Holiday and Peggy Lee.

“When she sings, her voice, an elegant melismatic instrument, evokes the standard emotions, yes, but deeper longings and muted desires.” Leonard Pitts, Miami Herald

“..she can steam up your contact lenses from 100 feet away.” Doug Adrianson, Miami Herald
