Barbara Ware and Cliff Monear present the “Lost Verses”

About Barbara Ware

Barbara Ware was born and raised in Detroit, and music has been her language of choice since she can remember. Barbara is not a shouter, and she doesn’t scat. Instead, she chooses songs that tell a story or express a mood and delivers the lyrics with feeling and finesse, sophistication and dignity, always tempered with a sly smile and a touch of sass.
