Seeking Accomplished Female Vocalist for Classic Pop/Folk Duo

I'm an experienced guitarist/singer in my 60's looking for an experienced female vocalist to take over for my duo partner who, sadly, had to move out of state to take care of a family member. We had worked up about 50 songs and just started getting gigs, with our very achievable goal of playing summer/fall wineries, and high-end restaurants/private parties year-round.

(I also have my 4-piece classic rock band, www.TheGenerators.band, and it's possible that the right person for my duo could be a guest vocalist with The Generators.)

The audio track here is a 7-minute reel of 5 songs from one of the last rehearsals with my former duo vocalist. (The video is me doing Blackbird during a mini solo gig from my neighbors 5 months into the covid lockdown. The birds joined in right on cue and threw me off in a wonderful way.)

You must have substantial experience playing out. You must also have excellent pop/folk vocal chops (pitch, phrasing, tone). I'm looking for a natural voice, not an imitator. Not a broadway voice with vibrato. Examples of the natural voice styling I'm looking for include Sheryl Crow, Sarah Bareilles, and Norah Jones.

You MUST have good quality audio (and preferably video) of either studio or live performances ready to send if I reply to you.

(I know, that's a lot of Musts.)

Weekly rehearsals in Cheshire.

If interested, please tell me about your performing experience, how you feel about the song list (below), etc.

I hope to hear from you.

Here's our list. NOTE: you'll be singing lead on 80% of these; I'll do 20% lead, and some harmony on your leads. I have cover versions by female vocalists of almost all of these, and will share that Spotify list if you wind up joining me.
