Artist History "Audiences are invariably spellbound; you don't hear background conversation when Zahr is performing... her voice has that much going on." ~ New Times LA Known as a musical powerhouse in Los Angeles, Nadine Zahr, 23, has frequently performed at venues such as the Knitting Factory, Temple Bar, Hotel Cafe, and Genghis Cohen. Within the past year, she has toured the West Coast with such artists as Sheila Nicholls (Hollywood Records) and Bonfire Madigan. Nadine, however, just recently returned from a solo, bicoastal tour, promoting her new record, "Digging Through the Dregs," which is receiving explosive accolades since it's release on August 14th, 2003. Nadine contains an endless ambition, constantly stretching herself out-of-the-bounds of her artistry, with more multifarious guitar parts, deeper lyrics, and mind-blowing vocal styles.

Press Reviews Nadine Zahr : Genghis Cohen Genghis Cohen is a red-walled chapel of music on Fairfax. Nadine’s sound completes this ethereal feeling with powerhouse vocals and thrilling percussion. The music has a pulse that makes your soul smile and cry all in a forty-five minute set. There’s rhythm that starts at your feet and shivers up your legs with lyrics that relate. There is a lot of space in the music, space for the audience to breathe and also to really contemplate what’s being conveyed in the lyrics. Nadine’s drummer, Kyan, is the most creative, feeling and tasteful percussionist I’ve seen in Los Angeles. He completes the perfect ebb and flow with the natural rhythm of the music. The songs embrace life through all it’s hardships and glories. Even the “slow depressing ballads”, as she calls them, have hope and shimmer with light and love. They speak of self-discovery and self-respect. With every tune Nadine transports herself to the exact space she must have been in when writing the words. Her body language and expressions bring the audience with her. Ending her set with a song titled “Never Seemed To Be” left the audience feeling pumped and forming a line to buy her CD. And Nadine doesn’t seem too far from bigger stages and brighter lights. See her while you can in our local scene. She is surely one of the most charismatic performers in Los Angeles today!
