1. Mariah Carey
Always number one... her voice is incredible. Many hours of listening to her in my younger days.2. Lauryn Hill
First hearing her in ‘Sister Act 2’, and then following her career. I just love her tone, note choices, her groove.3. Vince Jones
Vince was the first jazz singer I really connected with as a teenager. I thought: "if this is jazz, then I like jazz". It was after listening to his all his albums that I was able to better understand the earlier stuff and my love of the founders of jazz singing developed.4. Alison Krauss
Her tone and her incredible intonation... she is perfect to me!5. Whitney Houston
Similar to Mariah. They were my two first loves. Such incredible voices. I spent a lot of time singing along to these two in my school days.Kristen Berardi with the Con Artists will be joined by Electrik Lemonade, Brodie Graham Band, Toby Wren Trio, Umkancho and Dr. Offig.
