Carol Rossio: Bio

“Fantastic French feeling…a funky, musical menage a trois…"

- The Oregonian

As Portland’s own French chanteuse and incorrigible Francophile, vocalist Carol Rossio performs jazz and pop with French flair - ooh-la-la! Her sultry vocal jazz styling and hip arrangements of quirky, original pop tunes conjure visions of an exotic French café in…Morocco, Tangiers, Madagascar or Antibes? Working in an intimate combo setting, Carol's live shows enchant audiences with her nuance, range and charisma.
