Faith Winthrop: Working Octogenarian "Havin' Myself a Time"

 

The many attitudes toward the process of aging may include acceptance, delight, denial, despair and abject terror. Having worked through many of these transitions myself, I am grateful to be my age and have the ability to share wonderful songs and sentiments.


Bio

 

Faith Winthrop’s career is as storied as her extensive songbook. From an aspiring 11-year-old treading the boards of the G line streetcar and spontaneously taking requests from passengers traveling from Brookline to Boston to the still singing and swinging senior, her life remains a continual love affair with song. Integrating her new original works with her trademark soulful and elegant style, rhythmic comedic timing, and astonishing vocal control, Faith continues to wow crowds both nationally and internationally, most recently at San Francisco's Razz Room, where she introduced her new show, "Faith Lift," to stunning reviews.  Faith is currently crafting more tunes of wit and wonder and plans to record her music and take her show on the road again, ever faithful to her love affair with song.
