Elizabeth Shepherd Trio
The Pheasantry (Chelsea)
Hailed as “a jazz virtuoso blessed with a pop sensibility”, Elizabeth Shepherd has praised by critics worldwide for her arrestingly original writing and soulful delivery. The six-time JUNO nominee (Canda's Grammy Awards) and two-time Polaris-Prize nominee (Canada's Mercury Prize) has released seven widely acclaimed records, featuring collaborations with such musicians as Lionel Loueke, Jasper Hoiby and Nostalgia 77. She has toured extensively in North America, Europe, Japan and Mexico, sharing the stage with such great diverse acts as Christian MacBride, Branford Marsalis, Spankie Wilson, Victor Wooten, the Quantic Soul Orchestra, Bonobo, and Jamie Cullum. She will be bringing her signature groove-based sound with her long-time collaborators and original Elizabeth Shepherd Trio members, Colin Kingsmore (dr) and Scott Kemp (bs).
