Lucy Woodward at Yoshi's Oakland in July
An effortlessly engaging, deeply expressive vocalist and an insightful, charismatic and disarmingly witty songwriter, Lucy will perform songs from her Verve debut album HOOKED!, which draws seamlessly from a deep well of vintage swing and R&B. She performed as the première vocalist with the mini-orchestra Pink Martini and was featured as an “International Artist to Watch” in Italian Vogue. She has also toured with the funk/jazz band Snarky Puppy and was featured on their 2013 Grammy award-winning album. Songwriter’s Monthly says Lucy brings a "sultry intensity and scorching sensuality" to her bluesy jazz/pop performances – “a jaw-dropping listening experience." You can hear her songs in movies such as Last Vegas, The Blindside, Ice Princess and What a Girl Wants. Also on the program will be songs from her soon to be released EP Til They Bang on the Door. Tickets $24; call Yoshi's to make a reservation for dinner.
