Louise Parker

Louise Parker returns to The Old Chapel with a tribute to one of the finest and most influential singers of the twentieth century. If there is one performer whose music reflects and resonates with the spirit of the 1950s and 1960s, it is Nina Simone. Her sound channelled the emotional spark of the day; her vibrato-rich voice (childlike at times, deep and wise at others) reflected its innocence; her piano virtuosity elevated it with an air of elegance; her lyrics and song choices satisfied a need for intelligent social commentary.

Louise will be accompanied by bassist Al Swainger, Ric Byer on drums and Matt Carter on keyboards.
