Langtoun Jazz Festival 2022 Vocal Jazz Day Concert 2
2nd of 6 concerts for lovers of vocal Jazz featuring Evelyn Laurie Quartet
Evelyn Laurie, proud Paisley buddy, is a life-long singer and songwriter in many genres but found a home in jazz after attending a Fionna Duncan Jazz Vocal workshop around 17 years ago.
She has steadily built her career as a professional performer since then, gigging mostly around the west of Scotland.
Evelyn's musical influences are very broad as reflected in her choice of repertoire.
Her debut album, "A little bit of me", was released in 2018 to critical acclaim from reviewers and audiences alike.
At Langtoun Jazz Festival, she will be performing songs from her second album, released in August 2021. "My Scottish Heart", a collection of 18th and 19th century Scottish songs, reimagined in jazz settings. The title track is an original work.
