Nina Van Horn is blues / rock / americana style musician from
Houilles, Ile-de-France,
France.
Her first love was Russian and Classical Dances. After exploring the world
of Opera (where she felt a little restricted as a "Soprano Colorature"), she
created a Russian Dances & Songs Company of Ballets along with her today's
companion and also performed Russian & Gypsies songs. From all these years
of World Tours, she has kept a powerful vocal technique and a great corporal
expression on stage.
She settles in the USA and keeps on touring in High schools,
Universities, Jails and Veterans Home and finally chooses Texas. Nina goes
on tour across
the USA where she became one with the landscapes and people she met. She appears
in some Charity Concerts for the Farm Aid, already concerned by Globalisation...
The Tour brings her to New Orleans where she finds a new
passion: Blues.
Finally not so far from the Gypsy songs where you can also express pain, love
and joy. Nina understands that very quickly she dives into her memory and
gets loose with her voice like a Janis Joplin to whom she is often compared.
She meets Dan Akroyd, also great Blues lover, who push
her to go further on into that music of Soul and Heart. Nina sings more
and more - Bette Midler, Chuck Berry or Eric Burdon, among others, ask
her to play
as a supporting act as they appreciate the true "Rock
Energy" and her feeling on stage. Nina learns a lot with those monsters,
and feeling ready, she goes back to France to create her own Band.
The Midnight Wolf Band was born and composed of musicians
corresponding to her: generous, spontaneous and truthful - her wolves!
Like the Silver Bullet
Band of Bob Seger, Nina shares and communicates her energy and her last
CD "Nina
Live and Alive In Paris" is the living proof (distribution
by Crystal Records& XIII bis).
Her new collaboration with Neal Black and Lucky Peterson
in her new album "From
Huntsville to Jordan", prove that Nina is not tired to travel in the
World of Blues and Texas Rock. In this more mature CD, Nina express herself
on subject such as Executions in Huntsville, mistreatment of our planet or
wars...
Nina Van Horn is a singer definitely watching the world
she lives in, she likes also to compose her songs et to tell us stories of
simple
people met one day
in Louisiana or somewhere else...
She likes her Blues with moments more Jazz or Rock but always with the same
joy to share it with her "wolves" and the public in a very communicative
way!
Her voice reminds Janis Joplin or Bette Middler, her energy
on stage a little of Tina Turner but her sincerity and enthusiasm wherever
she goes are obvious: To share her pleasure with her public!
The band generally playing with me is composed of:
- Neal Black (from Texas and co writer of my new CD) and Mar Todani (best blues
guitar player from Japan, toured with Big Joe Turner)
- Pili Tempo is on bass (he played for Tony Coleman)
- Damien Cornelis (F) on keyboards or Fabien Saussaye (played with Tony Coleman)
- Larry Crockett (USA) on drums ( played for Liz Mc Comb, Elton John and many
others) or Pat Machenaud (F) (played with Gery Joe Weise) or Denis Palatin
Nina Van Horn live at the New Morning in Paris - release of her new album
sept 2006.
