A regular touring member of Pink Martini, Storm Large, musician, actor, playwright, and author, shot to national prominence in 2006 as a finalist on the CBS show Rock Star: Supernova and later on the 2021 season of America’s Got Talent.

Storm spent the ‘90s singing in clubs throughout San Francisco and headed to Portland in the early 2000s for a standing engagement at nightclub and live music venue, Dante’s, for Storm and her new band, The Balls. It wasn’t long before Storm had a cult-like following in Portland, and a renewed singing career that was soon to be launched onto the international stage.

Recent highlights include debuts with the Philly Pops, members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and the Seattle Symphony, as well as return engagements with the Houston, Detroit, Toronto, and BBC Symphonies; the New York Pops; and the Louisville Orchestra, with whom she recorded the 2017 album All In. Storm continues to tour concert halls across the country with her band, Le Bonheur, and as a special guest on Michael Feinstein’s Shaken & Stirred tour. Alongside Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey, Storm joined Michael Feinstein as special guest with the Pasadena Pops.

Her one-woman autobiographical musical memoir, Crazy Enough, played to packed houses in 2009 during its unprecedented 21-week sold-out run in Portland. She performed it for another122 shows and a cabaret version at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Adelaide Festival in Australia, and Joe’s Pub in New York. Her memoir, Crazy Enough, was released by Simon and Schuster in 2012, named Oprah’s Book of the Week, and awarded the 2013 Oregon Book Award for Creative Nonfiction.
