Indie Acoustic Soul.
The Austin-American Statesman wrote “Wendy Colonna is not just a singer-songwriter, she’s a force of nature.”
Wendy Colonna's music is a balm for the soul. Her resonant, grit-infused-honey voice can move from a sweet whisper to a full-on bayou-soul-shout without skipping a beat. Wendy weaves a tapestry of songs that tell the stories of our shared human journey. With tales of mortality, joy, reclaimed innocence and celebration, she has a brilliant way of making listeners feel witnessed and connected.
Wendy has released eight acclaimed studio album and has garnered critical accolades from media outlets including the WSJ and New York Times "ethereal." She received a Black Fret Major Grant and was selected as a 2017 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Finalist. Her song, “A Happy Song,” custom-written for a Coca-Cola Ad hit the top of AdWeek and her track “My Southwest Louisiana Home,” written for Southwest Louisiana Tourism took home several ADDY awards.

Omar Lozano
Visit Austin - Director of Music Marketing
"Wendy Colonna is one of the most professional Austin musicians I’ve worked with, the clients we have recommended her to are more than satisfied and attendees at these events have had a very positive Austin music experience."
Brandon Demaris
Good Wolf Entertainment - Founder, Director
“When our private and corporate clients want an original artist, Wendy Colonna is among the first names who comes to mind. She is not only a stellar talent and top notch professional, but she can also play in a variety of instrumentations (solo to full band) to meet the energy/mood and budget for the event.”

TEDx Barton Springs Women - Co-Producer
“We engaged Wendy Colonna and her team to appear on stage and Livestream at TEDx barton Springs Women. 100 in the audience and hundreds more on Livestream were entertained and inspired by the original music. We gave Wendy simple instructions - inspire, motivate and encourage the women on stage and all those people in our audience and on Livestream. Frequent comments in the chat / Live stream as well as in the room live were - who is that singing and how do I get that song?!
When you hire people to do live original work, professionalism from the team is so important. Wendy and her team came to dress rehearsal to ensure all the technical aspects of the musical performances were secured. Then each person really brought excitement and impact. You could hear a pin drop - until the applause thundered each singer off stage!

"It's a rare find when you encounter someone who is highly creative AND is a great communicator, professional and enthusiastic about the work she does. And Wendy is all of those. . . My experience has been that she always over-delivers professionally and with quality. While she always has new ideas, she's a veteran in performing, composing, writing and recording music within a business context. Also, she's just super fun."
