WANDA HOUSTON PROJECT

Born in Chicago, Wanda Houston started singing in gospel choirs, and has performed in LA, Hollywood, Las Vegas, Europe, and Australia. In 2006, she settled in the Berkshires full-time, bringing with her a mesmerizing mix of mid-20th century jazz and R&B. The Wanda Houston Band performs to packed crowds, from The Mount in Lenox to The Barn in Egremont. Playing forward her parents' involvement in the Civil Rights Movement, she sang the sorrowful songs of Berkshire native son W. E. B. Du Bois at his 153rd birthday commemorative in February 2021. 'This is the most beautiful place to live,' says Houston. 'I could not be happier."
