Liane Carroll

Liane Carroll is one of the hottest singers on the UK jazz scene. Double BBC jazz-award winner, she has also won Best Female Jazz Vocalist at the first Ronnie Scotts Jazz Awards, presented by Tony Bennett and Michael Parkinson, and she made a head-line appearance at the Glastonbury Festival.

As Time Out puts it…. ‘Swinging like Hell one minute, brutally expressive and heart-breakingly tender the next… Utterly brilliant’.

One of the UK’s most accomplished  jazz singers and outstanding pianist Liane Carroll performs jazz classics and original compositions. Well-known for her powerful, highly emotional voice and superlative improvising skills, Liane has enjoyed a long career across multiple genres.

A 30 year career has taken her from Hastings to Glastonbury via Ronnie Scott’s and New York. Always a crowd pleaser, her easy, sometimes self-deprecating wit often belies her musical intelligence and her emotional gravitas. With a repertoire that spans the Great American Songbook, Carole King and Tom Waits and the ability to hold an audience’s undivided attention, Liane is rightly regarded as one of the UK’s top vocal jazz performer.
