BERNADETTE SEACREST*


Bernadette's creative path reads like the back story to a mid-century Hollywood heroine: Ballerina, Fashionista, Hell Kitten, Sultry Chanteuse.


In between her European tours, Bernadette can often be found holding court within the infamous Atlanta nightspot - Sister Louisa's Church of the Living Room and Ping Pong Emporium - which seems to have emerged as a pre-ordained vehicle for the unique experience that only Bernadette can deliver.


"...Whenever this tattooed temptress sings tempestuous torch songs about lovers who "couldn't keep the faith," this quirky...chanteuse makes us want to do wild things ..."


- Phoenix New Times


"…Seacrest is a refreshing departure from the squeaky- clean jazz-tootsie camp … this heavily tattooed former punk adds a playful Barbara Stanwyk, here-comes-trouble feel to the torch-singing chanteuse formula."

- Willamette Week | Portland, OR


"… a woman that I consider the great love of my youth; Bernadette Seacrest. She wasn't a singer then but she is now. She IS now! Torchy stuff. To pull off this sort of music, you need a certain amount of genuine soul... Bernadette has this quality in spades, both as a person and as an artist. "

- ERic Avery, Jane's Addiction


. . . Most striking is Seacrest's voice. Dark liquors, noir and cigarette smoke, she sings a sweet sound that drips with sinister knowledge. It's jazz and punk rock, soulful but ready to stage-dive."

- Hyperactive Magazine


"...Every drop of ink on her body tells the story of a fiercely independent woman who has suffered the highs and lows of life on the fringes to carve her own musical niche… Her pure angelic croon seems more likely to be found in the pages of a pulp crime novel than in the here and now."

- Chad Radford, Creative Loafing Atlanta
