I’ve been singing all my life as far back as I can remember. As a young girl my first experience working with a private music teacher began with piano lessons which later led to guitar lessons. In my late teens I toured professionally (in a top 40 band performing covers) and began exploring singing in different genres. After years of performing with different groups I started writing original songs and went on to record and release 3 CDs. As a performing songwriter I found my home for many years working with a trio from Chicago called Sons Of The Never Wrong. While living in Chicago I created showcases for artists who were writing original songs and later, following a move to NY, I coordinated and hosted an open mic. specifically for my voice students.

“...Nancy is the focus of the room. That feeling, that depth of knowledge and experience, allows her to inhabit every song, whether it’s singing for the souls of miners or recalling her Old Town School of Folk Music roots...” ~ Michael Eck, Multi-Instrumentalist and freelance writer https://yourvoicecoach.net/nancy-walker

Bassist Steve LaSpina has been contributing his phenomenal musicianship both as performer and composer to this label since the late 90s. Since his debut album New Horizon SteepleChase has been LaSpina’s main outlet for his marvelous compositions. This is his 12th leader album, which explores some of his old tunes as well as new works, giving us a rare opportunity of experiencing how originalcompositions in jazz develop after decades of live performance on stage. https://www.jazzmessengers.com/en/83831/steve-laspina/a-change-in-the-weather
