Romance is in the air, love is just around the corner, and the champagne is on ice, when Uptown swings to the tunes of silken-voiced Andrea Carlson and her Love Police ensemble – on Valentine’s Day!
Andrea is a multi award-winning Memphis, Tennessee-born singer/guitarist/songwriter, known for presenting music from America’s Golden Age of Jazz, French Chanson, and her own swing-centric compositions. A regular at Scotland’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival, she has appeared in seventeen US states and ten European countries, and recorded seven albums.
Dare to be transported to another time and place, courtesy of Andrea’s sassy, sultry, velvety vocals, witty lyrics and enchanting melodies – and the inspired arrangements of the Love Police. When Andrea and the band blend musical adventure, intrigue and the sensitive wonders of the human heart – you just might have to take a chance on love.
Andrea’s band The Love Police is made up of some of the best jazz musicians from the tristate area, David Bopdrummer-drums and vocals, Dave Posmontier-piano, Kevin MacConnell-bass, Bob Butryn-reeds and of course Andrea Carlson on guitar.
