Carol Grimes @ Lauderdale House
Nov 21 @ 8:30 pm – 10:30 pm

With Annie Whitehead (tmb), Dorian Ford (pno), Neville Malcom (bs), & Winston Clifford (dms)

Carol Grimes is a towering presence in the UK music scene; from busking in the streets as a teenager to touring internationally with contemporary classical group The Shout and her two solo rock albums in Memphis, it is safe to say Carol is a truly genre-busting artist. Having turned to jazz and blues, her music embraces drama and love. Her band lays down the subtlest of grooves, and also includes Annie Whitehead, another genre busting musician and one of the most thrilling brass players around.
