Playing a sassy bass line while singing the melody is no simple feat, yet APRIL MANCHESTER is one among that rare breed of musicians that makes it appear a breeze. April got her professional start in 1986 as founding member and lead vocalist for two successful Arizona bands: ‘Santa Fe’ and ‘The April Manchester Band’. Both enjoyed an enthusiastic following for more than a decade. In the mid 90’s she brought her formidable talents to Prescott’s own long-running Arizona Jamboree show on the Elks Theater stage. April’s many recording credits include both production and performances with such greats as Billy WIlliams and Byron Metcaf. Her rendition of our National Anthem has made April a perennial favorite to kick off games for the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Phoenix Suns and the state’s IHL teams. Opening for many artists over the years - among them Vince Gill, Freddy Fender, Charlie Daniels, Bobby Randall, Toby Keith and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - April’s ‘killer’ bass guitar and marvelous vocal style is, in a phrase, “a hard act to follow”!is, in a phrase, “a hard act to follow”!
