His versatile roster portfolio includes Voices of Concinnity (Navona Records), CONCORA, Voce Inc. (Signum Records), Cathedral of Saint Joseph’s Schola Cantorum/Cathedral Quartet, Berkshire Opera Festival, and Composer’s Choir. Woodard has been recently featured as a soloist with CONCORA, The Hartford Chorale, Mystic River Chorale, Music Worcester, and is stoked to be making his Farmington Valley Chorale soloist debut. Jermaine is passionately devoted to freelance (soloist) artistry, ensemble partnership, and loves being a recurring background singer in Javier Colon's live band—inaugural winner of NBC’s ‘The Voice’.
In November 2022, Jermaine inaugurated Bailey, the lead role in 'Magic: A Ballroom Musical' (regional premiere) by James Gadzik. In August 2025, Woodard made his house debut as Commissionario in Verdi’s La Traviata with Berkshire Opera Festival. In December 2025, Woodard made his stage debut as Singer/Actor with Playhouse on Park West Hartford in a non-equity regional production of ‘All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914’ by Peter Rothstein. Next up, Jermaine excitedly prepares for a June 2026 Central Park NYC and Public Radio Broadcast debut with CONCORA as a featured soloist, collaborating with the renowned Simone Dinnerstein on Bach recitativo. Mr. Woodard actively serves as Baritone Section Leader & Soloist at Asylum Hill Congregational Church, Crescendo Inc, and the Hartford Chorale; offering scholarship to the board of governors for the Hartford Chorale and Consonare; and remains committed to cantorial leadership and ministry at Sacred Heart Parish of Bloomfield and Cathedral of Saint Joseph.
