To say that singer-songwriter Nick Jaina is blessed with an articulate, angelic voice is a criminal understatement (as well as a justifiable cliché), but perhaps one of his greatest gifts is knowing how to choose a muse. Drawing inspiration from female artists in his Portland peer group, Jaina has compiled A Bird in the Opera House, a collection of songs showcasing the vocals of Laura Gibson, Amanda Spring (Point Juncture WA), Corrina Repp (Tu Fawning), and Seattles own impish chanteuse Kaylee Cole, who will be joining him on the Comets stage this evening.
