Join award-winning jazz vocalist Louise Balkwill for an evening of hidden gems from The Great American Songbook, original vocalese and burning scat. The 2022 winner of the Riga Jazz Stage international jazz voice competition, Louise has been hailed as one of the UK’s finest vocal improvisers and storytellers, with fans including jazz cream-of-the-crop Liane Carroll, Ian Shaw, Claire Martin and Leroy Jones. Most recently, she's been appearing with celebrated vocal harmony trio The Puppini Sisters, and was also featured with Adrian Cox at our annual Jazz on the Lawn show last summer (where she was absolutely sensational)! Along with her band featuring Rob Barron-piano Louise will be performing songs from the Great American Songbook featured in her debut album “First Class”. And watch out for her Special Guest Jonathan Bauer on vocals and trumpet.
"Totally bowled over by Louise Balkwill’s incredible vocals and engaging stage presence" Jazzwise; "a singer to listen out for" Liane Carroll; “A true new talent, shining right here…” Ian Shaw
