About Myrna Clayton
Come sing along with international songbird Myrna Clayton, who performs melodies by popular classic female vocalists Nancy Wilson, Anita Baker, Nina Simone, Rachelle Ferrell, Jill Scott, Roberta Flack, Oleta Adams, Deniece Williams, Beyoncé, Chaka Khan, and more!
Just back from Namibia, where she and her band the Myrna Clayton Experience represented American music for cultural exchange on behalf of the U.S. State Department, singer and songwriter Myrna Clayton has traveled widely, singing and getting audiences moving in cities across the globe.

A trained musician who began singing at age five in her father’s church, Myrna has developed an impressive repertoire and a multi-octave vocal range. She showcases her versatility across a broad mix of American music, from jazz and soul to gospel, pop, and R&B—all to the delight of her audiences.
