Tonight Emma Grace Stephenson Trio + Special Guest Sunday, April 29th 7pm Shapeshifter Lab

Emma Grace Stephenson is an Australian pianist and songwriter. After performing her own compositions at the Sydney Opera House with Hieronymus Trio and the acclaimed Australian vocalist Kristin Berardi, Emma won the 2017 Freedman Jazz Fellowship for Australian jazz musicians under the age of 35. For their debut trio performance at the Shapeshifter Lab, Orlando Le Fleming (bass), Oli Nelson (drums) and Emma (piano) will be joined by a special guest vocalist. The band will perform Emma's original music, which combines rhythmic, harmonic, and improvisatory elements of modern jazz with flavours of folk-pop songwriting.

"Emma plays brilliantly, brightly and strongly, and her compositions are so strong that myself as well as others were for no particular reason near tears. The songs lie somewhere between mysticism and powerful visceral emotion. The lyrics are, let us say, very convincingly cosmic." - John Clare, Jazz Australia
