Overview

As a musician and performer of 8+ years, I love what I do and offer an engaging, inviting energy to any space I'm playing in. I sing music from the 60s, 70s folk, rock and soul…all the way to modern day music, pop and jazz. I’m an old soul and love music spanning time and genres. Sultry, powerful vocals, paired with my guitar, and a versatile songbook-will have you smiling, dancing, and vibing all day/night. I’ve performed many types of events from concert halls to private events, weddings, on boats, ski hills, and backyards. My strength is my ability to connect with and adapt to any setting. I also can create songs on the spot and have the crow sing along in the creation of song!

Great voice

Ness Nosts voice fills the room, flows out of the windows, carries through the streets, and stops you n your tracks. That’s how I found her. Booked her for my company 10yr anniversary party. Unique and spirited artist/talent. Thanks Ness Nost

What to expect

Expect an engaging, uplifting and fun atmosphere with my performances. I bring a genuine feel to how I interact with the crowd, and the music. Expect people to sing along to your favourite songs...whether it's from the 60s, all the way to 2023- I offer a wide range of genres and styles of music to fit any crowd and any setting. Expect to smile, laugh, and feel comfortable as a guest. I can take requests, and even improvise a song on the spot, feeding off of the audience and the event. It's a good time, laid back and memorable.

Pop, Folk, Rock, Grunge, R and B and Jazz...there are so many songs to list!

Joni Mitchell, CSNY, Bonnie Rait, Ella Fitzgerald

Setup requirements

I can provide a small amp, microphone and mic stand.
