Information on Christine Tobin
“sexy, gutsy, bluesy and beautiful” Jazzwise
Best Vocalist in the BBC Jazz Awards 2008, singer-songwriter Christine Tobin is a commanding presence on the UK and European jazz scenes. Her latest CD, ‘Secret Life of a Girl’ (Babel), features richly textured originals and masterful arrangements of songs by Leonard Cohen and Rufus Wainwright.
“a jewel of the London jazz scene, streets ahead of the pack… She should be on a global stage, rubbing shoulders with fellow troubadours like Cave, Mitchell and Cohen”. The Guardian
Her style, although rooted in jazz, draws on a broad range of influences from blues, Brazilian and folk music, gaining her universal acclaim from the jazz and wider music press and a reputation on the scene as one of the most original and exciting singers around.
An artist of poise and purity, she appears with her six-piece band, Phil Robson (guitar), Liam Noble (piano), Kate Shortt (cello), Dave Whitford (bass), Thebe Lipere (percussion) and Simon Lea (drums).
