About Bridget

A voice for a stretch of island beach

Bridget's singing began in Washington, DC, where she performed in Capitol Hill restaurants and with local musical production companies. She has since enchanted audiences across Southern California with smooth-jazz renditions and standards, including sets with Grammy-nominated pianist Tom Barabas in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter.

Her love songs are what you might expect sitting on a stretch of island beach: relaxing and contemplative, carried by soprano sax, acoustic guitar, and piano. She writes her own lyrics, and her music crosses easily between soft jazz, easy listening, and something close to inspirational.
