Andrea Carlson And The Love Police, Bath Central, St James Wine Vaults

8pm - 11pm, Sat 24th Mar
About
Andrea Carlson has a voice of golden honey! A sparkling and alluring spirit, she has sweetened many a heart with her own brand of retro jazz, swing, blues, and roots music. The easy popularity of her sound shows in her active and far reaching touring schedule. Based in Philadelphia, Andrea has performed in a dozen states and as many countries, including five seasons at the Edinburgh (Scotland) Fringe Festival, featured at the acclaimed “The Jazz Bar”.
She leads her band, “the Love Police!”, comprised not only of top jazz musicians from Philadelphia, but also major talents from Chicago, France, Scotland and Argentina, with engaging arrangements of The Great American Songbook, French Chanson, and her own original compositions. Following her first award winning composition, "Cryin'", she released a completely original CD, “Drivin’ Myself Wild For You”, including another prize winning song, "Mysterious Moon". Her current CD "Love Can Be So Nice", showcases classics and originals in both English and French. And “Let Me Cook for You” was published this year in the firstever Philadelphia Real Book of Jazz, by regional non-profit Jazz Bridge.
Andrea has roots in Tennessee, California, Texas, and Illinois. While in college in Chicago, she began her career in small groups, and then with a big band that ultimately opened for the late great James Brown! She earned her degree in Classical Guitar at the American Conservatory of Music, and is now on the faculty of Settlement Music School. Her fingerstyle guitar playing is warm and vibrant, with hints of Django Reinhardt and Charlie Byrd. The result is all her own, spiced with ‘20s & ‘30s Jazz, classically inspired Latin, and Swing. Her musical range spans from soft and delicate, sultry and blue, to bold and bright!
“Andrea Carlson delivers her beautiful tunes with her warm and coy voice. Carlson’s words cater for the counterpoint: witty, funny and full of life. A delight to the ear in which they touch down.” -- Guy Zinger, Station Manager, Adore Jazz on 1.FM / Writer All About Jazz, Amsterdam, Netherlands. “Andrea Carlson once told me that the first time she heard jazz, she was in love. Well, the first time I heard Andrea Carlson, I was in love. I don’t think anyone has ever hooked me with their music as quickly as Andrea did with hers.” -- Charlie Silvestri, Up Close and Acoustic, Philadelphia, USA.
