Last summer, Laufey and the LA Phil teamed up for a very special performance at The Ford. Now, they’re crossing the 101 for a spectacular night of jazz at the Bowl.
Laufey’s brand of jazz is rooted in the classic stylings of Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Chet Baker. But it’s also bright and modern, equal parts confessional and inspirational. It adds up to a songbook that’s all her own. As NME puts it, “Laufey can serenade an audience with deep, pitch-perfect vocals while effortlessly rotating between cello, piano, and guitar, countless hours of practice stored in her nimble hands.” Those songs are infused with her approach to life: “I definitely romanticize a lot of things,” she recently said. “I think it comes out of seeing the beauty in the small things.” Her ability not only to see that beauty but to share it and make it feel personal has made her a favorite at jazz festivals and a star in the eyes of music fans around the world.
