Always captivated by the melodies, Camela Widad was close to wearing out the vinyl in her hometown library. Growing up in the small town of Spring Green, WI, flush with the artists who inspired her, Widad set out to follow the thread of storytelling woven so deeply into her Wisconsin roots. A theatre degree later, milesalong the US highways and byways, gritty theatre jobs and dipping her toes into cover bands, she foundherself writing her own material, making a record and right back where she started – storytelling and thoseaddictive melodies.
Seven albums later, many more miles logged, heartbreak, and a little more wear and tear, she brings honesty that captures audiences in a net of authenticity that feels a little bit saintly and a little bit rock and roll. Along the way, she began to share her wisdom & artistry with singers and songwriters,
maintaining a thriving vocal coaching roster, championing burgeoning artists, young and old.
Widad has appeared on stage alongside Chuck Prophet, Della May, David Lindley, and iconic band Americaat venues and events such as The Birchmere Music Hall, Club Passim, Live on The Folk Show on WXPN, The Tin Angel, and the Berkshire Mountain Music Festival.
