Lana is a passionate and accomplished jazz singer and entertainer whose smokey tones and sassy style have consistently enraptured her audience.
The Lana Shelley Jazz Trio offers a bespoke service for celebrations and events of all kinds both private and corporate, large or small, from intimate bars and wedding receptions to cabaret nights and private parties. Lana draws on her huge repertoire spanning the early 1920’s to the present day, covering jazz, blues, old soul, and rock ‘n’ roll, as well as her own modern blues and swing numbers when appropriate. The line up consists of vocals with any combination of keys/guitar/sax/bass/drums, arranged to suit your needs.
Reared on a diet of Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughn, Billie Holliday and Frank Sinatra for starters, Lana encapsulates the vintage tone, charm and musicality with passion and delight. Equally she can adapt the look and feel to a more modern tone if required, including contemporary songs performed in a jazz and swing style. As an extra service, Lana can write a bespoke song for the occasion to one of your favourite songs, adding that extra special touch.
As Ella Fitzgerald said, “The only thing better than singing is more singing”
