The Songstress and Entertainer
"One Girl - One Mic - One Dress" (The CJ Colt Show ) songtracks for your listening pleasure below
Watch a good singer perform and you'll witness something remarkable. From the opening notes, conversations become quiet, heads turn, eyes get misty, lyrics are mouthed, couples smile at each other and step onto the dance floor together for the first time in decades. It happens every time.
But that's not enough to explain it. It is a repertoire of great songs, written by some of the truly great songwriters - Harlan Howard, Willie Nelson, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Hank Cochran, Bob Wills and even Neil Sedaka to name a few.
It is these great songs that are showcased in her performance. CJ Colt's singing will remind you that it's the Songs themselves that take center stage, which is a celebration of the music that has helped to make the slightly suggestive and rich "torch songs" so iconic. CJ looks the part too, with a classy stage presence that compliments the music perfectly.
Listening to CJ Colt is a real treat. She's the real deal: a professional singer who plies her trade honestly, well, and with exceptional musicality and high humor. Her "sung and performed with" resume' reads like a Who's Who of music: Kitty Wells, Porter Wagoner, Minnie Pearl, Charlie Daniels, Levon Helm, Marshall Tucker, Conway Twitty and on and on (and on). She's performed on television and radio, in concerts and intimate nightclubs. Festivals, private parties, military bases NCO Clubs, ski resorts, dude ranches, big city hotels and small roadhouses throughout the country.
CJ's not just a 'one-trick pony' either. Her rich contralto is excellent for many different musical styles and genres. Good thing too, as the songs from the Great American Songbook include Pop, Swing, Rock and Roll and even the occasional hint of Jazz and Blues.
CJ Colt is the consummate professional whose vocal skills and stage presence are just perfect for entertainment. CJ spent many years singing in Nashville and New York City, and now works out of the Thousand Islands, Canada and the Capital Region in Upstate NY.
CJ is available for one-time or recurring performances for concerts, nightclubs, conventions, high-profile balls and parties. She has several "themed shows" ready to go, such as "Swingin' Through Time", "After Midnight", "Let's Do It", and her most recent musical comedy-chef show "The Sassy Lass Cook". She can also tailor play lists to your preferences, audiences and venues, or happily perform sets of songs that tickle her current fancy. So...be prepared to be entertained and amused!
