Overview

Nashville Recording Artist Colleen Orender's new music is a sultry jazz dream with pop sensibilities and a touch of James Bond.
A touring jazz and blues artist for decades, Orender turns your hometown venues into smoldering 1930's Mississippi juke joints. She teamed up with Michael Davey in Nashville to produce her new sound that many are comparing to Amy Winehouse with Julie London's essence. We see a new genre stand on its own, the Sophisticated Pop of the decade.

Orender’s first single “Don’t Give a Damn About Love”, is getting radio play in Nashville, and other NPR stations in the US. Her second single “The Mouth You Feed” was featured on NPR’s “10 Artists to Add from Nashville” list.

Perfect!

In my 15 years of hiring entertainment for our events, Colleen has been the best yet! Her online samples of her music are her- live- not produced. She sounds just as amazing in person. I received many compliments on the atmosphere she created. She was very easy to work with, professional and friendly. My only regret is not hiring her for our second night of entertainment.

What to expect

"Colleen's performance at our event was so engaging with our guests that we had to invite them to leave because the event was over. Her voice has a unique sound, full of power and smooth as silk. Folks have already requested that we bring her back next year!"

About

This songstress has toured the country from her native home of Tampa, Florida all the way to Winslow, Arizona, and that's still small news for this seasoned performer, once singing for a packed cruise ship at the age of six, Colleen has always been fearless.
Colleen began her career performing with her grandfather (Paw Paw), with his country act called, The Dixie Band, at the age of five. She formed her own band at the age of sixteen, and several others over the years in the Tampa Bay area.
Upon her arrival in Nashville Colleen was featured on demos produced by the likes of Tim Akers.
(Music Director/Keys for Prime Time Country TNN, Amy Grant, Faith Hill, Rascall Flatts, just to name a few) Her first album was written and produced by Anthony Crawford (Guitarist for Neil Young, Steve Windwood) She began working for Gaylord Entertainment, which led to a company open call to audition for the Gaylord Star Band. In a few short years, the group opened for Rick Springfield and Wilson Phillips, and was a part of the opening of Always Patsy Cline at the legendary Ryman Auditorium along with many company engagements. Recently, she opened for Wynnona Judd at the Standard, in March of 2014.
Colleen can be found in Nashville's exclusive clubs like The Standard at the Smith House, private functions and house parties to Gaylord Opryland Resorts. Colleen specializes in creating a vibe for any occasion, that is tailor made for her clients. An accomplished songwriter to boot, Colleen lends her talents to many of Nashville's studios and songwriters as well. Orender heads a captivating All-female Eagles Experience called The Sheagles. President and band director come easy for her as she shuttles 8 beautiful musicians across the country packing out arena's and venues such as The House of Blues, Gexa Arena with CBS radio, The Glass Cactus, and many, many more.

Influences and inspiration

"Colleen Orender's voice flows effortlessly and should be savored and enjoyed like a fine wine. Textures of Janis, subtle undertones of Duffy with a hint of Winehouse and Adele .The result- an aftertaste of pure excellence that leaves the listener seduced and satisfied. One of the most versatile, professional and promising performers I have ever encountered."
