Gwyneth Herbert
Gwyneth Herbert (born 26 August 1981) is a British singer-songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist and record producer. Initially known for her interpretation of jazz and swing standards, she is now established as a writer of original compositions, including musical theatre. She has been described as "an exquisite wordsmith" with "a voice that can effortlessly render any emotion with commanding ease" and her songs as being "impressively crafted and engrossing vignette[s] of life's more difficult moments".
Three of her seven albums have received four-starred reviews in the British national press. Another album, Between Me and the Wardrobe, received a five-starred review in The Observer. She wrote and performed a new song cycle, The Sea Cabinet, for which she was commissioned by Snape Maltings as artist-in-residence and which she subsequently recorded as an album. Theatre Elision gave the song cycle its United States premiere at The Southern Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
