Jazz Concert: Liane Carroll with Roger Carey @ Lauderdale House
May 8 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Singer, pianist and composer, Liane Carroll is a major presence on the British music scene. She has worked with countless jazz musicians and with the likes of Sir Paul McCartney and Ladysmith Black Mambazo.  Although she played to thousands at the Rochester Festival in up State New York, as well as big concerts in Copehagen last year, (proof that the wider world is at last catching up with her prodigious talent), we are fortunate that she still loves to play in small venues like Lauderdale House. Her ability to make you laugh, or bring tears to your eyes is one of the major pleasures in popular music.
