Live Music: Toni Byrd

About this event

Toni Byrd I have the privilege of introducing a great friend and even better performer – Ms. Toni Byrd. Toni, known as "The Velvet Song Byrd," is an internationally acclaimed jazz vocalist, song stylist and recording artist and songwriter. She is also a talented actress, with a notable role as "Ida Belle" in the film "Lawless." Toni was the first female vocalist to perform at the grand opening of Pinewood Studios in Fayetteville. Her professional music career began in Memphis, where her father, Lionel Byrd, exposed her to various music genres. She grew up listening to gospel, jazz, R&B, pop, American Funk, and country music. ​Toni's performances have graced stages in faraway places like the UK, Portugal, Germany, the Czech Republic, and also close by at The Jazz Corner in South Carolina and at Tuskegee University. She has showcased her talent at some of Atlanta's great venues, such as Mercedes-Benz Stadium, The Rialto Theater, The Fox Theater, and Churchill Grounds. Please welcome Toni Byrd!
