From the Triad Theatre in NYC to Shibuya Home in the entertainment district of Tokyo and then back to the west coast of Canada, international performer and singer-songwriter Norine Braun offers an "amazing, diverse and terrific show" according to DJ Motmot from Songplanet adding she "would definitely go see Norine perform again".   Vancouver based Norine Braun, showcases her vast pool of musical influences, which according to  Progressiveworld.net, is “all over the musical map, stretching...her vocals into pop, rock, hip-hop, jazz, spoken-word, blues...you name it, she's got it covered.” Citing derivative influences that include Sade, Bjork, Tracy Chapman, kd lang, Patti Smith and Norah Jones, Braun’s musical bedrock is steeped in soul, with jazz, ambient pop and rock & roll laid overtop in a sound that Indie-Music.com has observed “has great depth, versatility, and provides a fresh alternative to pretty much anything you could get your hands on in the mainstream progressive rock world.”

The recipient of awards including the prestigious ‘Female Singer-Songwriter of the Year’ in the Jazz Category at the International Independent L.A. Music Awards, Braun, even as a newcomer, has dazzled her critics as “a rare find,” according to The Best Female Musicians Magazine. Ink19 Magazine, meanwhile, has observed that while “people throw the word eclectic around a lot these days...pop vocalist Norine Braun...earns that label.” While critical praise continues to roll in, looking to the future, what Braun feels most excited and energized by is her newest album, with the singer revealing that “Acoustically Inclined is my 7th album of original music released. This album is acoustic and naked, showcasing my live solo singer-songwriter performances. My intention is to capture the essence of the song in its purest form, vocal and guitar which is my usual modus operandi.”

Artsy and fun, thoughtful and savvy, Norine Braun will zing to the heart of any listener.
