Her eclectic live show performance will showcase songs from her debut album Sheer Bliss highlighting her unique stylings in jazz, contemporary pop as well as a sprinkle of Latin and Brazilian rhythms.

A powerful and highly expressive live performer, she will also rework timeless standards from the Great American Songbook with captivating modernity and refreshing musical style which infuse her unique delivery and upbeat vitality, heartfelt emotion and exciting texture.

Contributing to the musicality of her debut album are some of the industry’s top musicians: Ray Obiedo, Pete Escovedo, Elena Pinderhuges, and Santana band members David K. Matthews, Jeff Cressman and Bill Ortiz.

Sheer Bliss, which includes seven of her original songs, is receiving national airplay and most recently was added to Sirius XM’s Real Jazz radio. Allaboutjazz.com writes,”Yvonne Flores and her debut album is musical magic from a wonderful singer armed with a sensuous voice that is sure to grab critical attention. There are a great number of female vocalists on the jazz scene; many are good, some are average, others poor but few have made such a graceful and memorable entrance as Yvonne Flores does on the well-titled Sheer Bliss.”
