Emma Smith Presents Snowbound

A show that promises to charm with festive magic, laughter, swinging jazz and a healthy dash of camp Christmas humour. This evening’s two shows will feature brand new bespoke arrangements of well loved festive tunes such as Ella Fitzgerald’s ‘I’ve Got My Love To Keep Me Warm’, and ‘What are you doing new years eve’ as well as Barbra Streisand’s ‘Snowbound’. Emma will be joined by her trio of jazz stars, Jamie Safir on Piano, Conor Chaplin on Bass and Luke Tomlinson on drums.

Emma Smith’s star is on the ascendant, with various key tastemakers tipping her as the next Amy Winehouse in terms of breakthrough momentum and sheer talent and charisma. With diverse and extensive experience performing everywhere from the 02 Arena to the world’s leading jazz clubs, collaborating and recording with the likes of Michael Buble, The Quincy Jones Orchestra, Jeff Goldblum, Postmodern Jukebox, Bobby McFerrin and Seal along the way, Emma Smith has created a formidable reputation as a powerful and expressive artist on the global jazz scene. With her last album ‘Meshuga Baby’ racking up millions of streams, receiving rave reviews and bringing in award nominations, it’s no wonder that tickets to her live shows are selling out so swiftly.
