The Pheasantry (Chelsea)

Most people remember the 21st of March as the day the UK went into lockdown. Now we are going to remember it as the day we went to see Lauren Lucille and her amazing band! For this show, Lauren (an Aussie and performer for 20 years) and her band will focus on brazillian bossa novas, beautiful ballads and ballsy blues, some of which will be her original tunes. Lauren’s band is comprised of the best of London’s musicians. Jo Caleb on guitar plays and produces for Dave the rapper, Larry Bartley on bass has played for the likes of Courtney Pine and Cleveland Watkiss, Vince Dunn - Omar/Frank McComb/Courtney Pine is on drums and Tony Kofi on sax has played with Courtney Pine, Macy Gray, Harry Connick Jr and more!

"A charismatic performer, fearlessly bringing joy and poignancy within her full-toned singing of classic bossa novas and latter day Brazilian gems, yet with a subtle but sure vocal delivery. "

Lauren Lucille, from Brisbane - Australia, was lucky to grow up in a family who were jazz and classical musicians and this was her music school from the day she was born. She used to attend her mother's gigs instead of staying home with her siblings and maybe that's where she learnt to really swing! Due to Lauren's love of jazz, composition, pop music and strings, she released an all originals jazz album consisting of a jazz quartet and string trio in 2012 titled 'Hidden Here' produced by songwriter/producer Garry Smith, and launched it to a sold out crowd at the Brisbane Powerhouse. In 2013, Australia's best known trumpeter John Morrison added two of the album's songs to his 'best of jazz list' for Qantas airlines. Lauren also became a finalist for two other songs two years running in the Queensland music Awards. Lauren moved to Europe in 2013 to explore the music scene there and on April 20th, 2019, Lauren released her 2nd album ‘Let Go’ produced by one of UKs top jazz/pop producers, Troy Miller: The album is an honest and refined but emotionally sharp collection of heartfelt songs that sound like singer songwriter folk/pop with elements of gospel and jazz. Lauren’s dreams have always been to travel the world and sing, and living in Europe and having had the opportunity to sing in London, Germany, Vienna, Paris, New York, Ireland, Italy, Poland and also all major cities in Australia and Auckland, New Zealand, it seems Lauren is living that dream!
