Hillary Capps

“Brooklyn based singer/songwriter Hillary Capps is known for her ability to meld together the roots of classic jazz music with modern pop sensibilities.” With strong female influences such as Sara Bareilles and Adele, Hillary’s pop-oriented music encompasses subtle jazz phrasings and catchy melodies that display a mature songwriting style and tight musicianship.

Originally from Vermont and raised in a musical family, Capps began performing with numerous jazz groups at weddings and events around New England at age 16. After relocating to New York City for college, Capps released a full-length album of jazz standards, A Perfect Dozen, in 2008. In 2010, Capps released Playlist, an album of covers and joined the rock band Cheers to Fall shortly thereafter. Hillary Capps formed her own band during her senior year at The New School, releasing an EP titled Maybe in the Morning, a true reflection of her musical inspiration.

After releasing the first single “New Melody” off of her current full-length album The Wishing Forest, Hillary was named one of The Deli Magazine's top NYC based indie-pop artists. She has recently performed at Mercury Lounge, Rockwood Music Hall, SXSW, CMJ, CBGB Festival, Burlington Discover Jazz Festival and WCAX-TV (CBS). Capps’ first full-length album, The Wishing Forest, was recorded in Brooklyn, NY at Vinegar Hill Sound by Reed Black (Saves the Day), and mixed at the legendary Electric Lady Studios by Michael Brauer (Coldplay, John Mayer, Christina Perri, The Rolling Stones).
