Nominated for "Jazz Artist of the Year" in the 2024 Western Canadian Music Awards, vocalist and lyricist Angela Verbrugge’s New Album, In the Wonder of the Night was released in October 2025 on G2 Records. Since winning the JazzTimes’ Magazine poll for Best Female Vocalist in 2020, Verbrugge has toured her romantic, humorous and inventive songwriting to top jazz venues in Japan, the UK, Germany, Luxembourg, Taiwan, France and Türkiye, and across Canada. With four albums to date and glowing reviews from the likes of Downbeat, JazzWise UK, JazzTimes, and JAZZIZ, Angela has been singled out as “head and shoulders above the usual barrage of vocal jazz albums.”
