Liner Notes
In her long-awaited debut album, All Blue, Keri Johnsrud creates a cool, indigo feeling, a mood of jazz and cocktails, city lights and smoky cafes. This exciting new singer brings us an eclectic assortment of songs, each humming with an urban pulse, dynamic and fresh, yet tinged with a world-weary sophistication. Born to a musical family in rural Iowa, this third-generation vocalist draws inspiration from her small town roots while communicating an urban finesse cultivated in Chicago clubs and lounges.
With her subtle, casual delivery, Keri celebrates the universal nature and freedom of jazz by saluting well-known standards and re-imagining classic country and modern classical works. Supported by a superb group of versatile and talented musicians, she contributes her distinct and honest voice to the vibrant future of this music.
