When it comes to playing the harp, Brandee Younger isn’t afraid to forge new artistic paths or push the boundaries when redefining the sounds of contemporary jazz. In this digital era, she has worked tirelessly to defy the limitations of the harp as an instrument, and what genre it can live in. Younger successfully infuses the angelic traditions of the harp with influences from jazz, soul, funk, hip-hop, classical music, and more! Tune into In A Mellow Tone tonight as host Natalie McGrath showcases the successful musical career of harpist Brandee Younger, highlighting her inspirations, accolades and impact on jazz, as well as music as a whole. With her rhythmically assured work, elegant technique and luminous harmonies, she is without a doubt, revolutionizing the instrument.

Her latest album, Brand New Life, which will be played in the first half of the show, received the NAACP Image Award for “Outstanding Jazz Album.” She was also awarded the titled of "Rising Star Harpist" in Downbeat Magazine’s 2020 Critics Poll.
