FREE ENTRY/PWYC
Born in South America and raised in Sweden, Annika Skoogh is a highly versatile and celebrated multilingual jazz vocalist based in Exeter. She brings a special blend of Scandinavian charm and Latin flavour to her performances.
In 2017, Annika recorded her first album, Waters of March, with her quartet (featuring Matt Carter, Al Swainger and Coach York), which was released the following year, in 2018, to much acclaim.
Annika has appeared on BBC Spotlight as part of the Fowey Literature and Art Festival and has performed alongside world-class musicians including Buster Cooper and Art Barton (who performed with Buddy Rich, Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen), former members of the Duke Ellington Orchestra, as well as the late legendary Kathy Stobart (Art Pepper and Humphrey Lyttelton).
Annika leads several projects and has many sold-out performances under her belt. Over the years, she has played at some of the biggest jazz festivals in the UK.
Annika will be joined by some of the finest musicians here in the South West, all very much in demand: Tom Ball – pianist, Kevin Sanders – double bass, and Gary Evans – drums, who have been professional jazz musicians for over 30 years. Between them they’ve played with many of the leading artists on the British jazz scene.
Expect an eclectic mix of jazz, Latin and Nordic jazz, contemporary tunes, and original compositions.
“...She has a very fine voice and knows how to enhance it to its full quality. She’s a wow!” Marlborough International Jazz Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival
“A singular vocalist capable of both power and sweetness...” St Ives Jazz Club
