Tune in at Swoopsworld.com. Normandie Wilson Normandie Wilson is an odd bird: a visual and a vocal artist with a mix of modern and vintage influences; a five-foot tall tattooed pixie with a decidedly feminine streak; and a big heart and hurricane-force energy when it comes to helping birds. Listen to the show A steady childhood diet of Burt Bacharach, The Beach Boys, and Motown has given Normandie’s music a distinctly 60’s pop throw-back, and her songs showcase these influences with style. Normandie was an accompanist for many years, playing classic show tunes by the likes of Cole Porter and Kander & Ebb, and these jazzy rhythms and lyrics have made their way into her work as well. Normandie is currently finishing up the recording of her fifth full-length studio album, Geography And Other Problems. Normandie Wilson continues to make her own path as a singer, composer, painter, and woman. Join us at 1pm/PST!
