ABOUT

I would love an opportunity to chat with someone about working as the lead vocalist for a jazz band. I have been playing at local London and area venues for a number of years. As a solo act with guitar and vocals, I play a number of jazz, pop, and easy listening covers spanning decades of music from 30’s to present, but my goal is to find jazz musicians that enjoy the American Jazz Songbook music. If you would like to explore this with me, please send me a message, I can be reached at the email address provided. I look forward to hearing from you. The link I have provided you is my rendition of La Vie En Rose - (Popularized By French Vocalist, Edith Piaf, 1947) by LoriMRead https://soundcloud.com/lori_m_read/la-vie-en-rose-popularized-by-french-vocalist-edith-piaf-1947 on #SoundCloud

CALENDAR

Past Events

Canada Day at the London Wine Bar!

Small intimate venue 15 tables, large bar, craft beer, mid-range priced wines, flights of wine, tasters, boards of cheeses and meats, appetizers - usually fills up so reservations are paramount. I perform there about every 6 weeks, always a Friday and Saturday night, 8-11 pm, both nights. Tons of fun!
