Since life stood still

Lorna Brooks is touring throughout the year promoting her recent Creative Scotland funded album ‘Since life stood still’. Lorna has shared a stage with Eric Bibb, Janis Ian, Loudon Wainwright III, Shawn Colvin to name but a few and is no stranger to live work. She is touring solo and sometimes with the all female line-up of Justyna Jablonska on cello, Althea Stentiford on keys and backing vocals and Lesley Wilson on trumpet and backing vocals.

Lorna Brooks is known for her rich, bluesy, and jazzy voice which has been described as the kind of voice you want to spend the rest of your life with. Her vocal style has been compared to the warmth and emotional depth of iconic singers like Annie Lennox and Bonnie Raitt. Not only is she a captivating vocalist, but she’s also an accomplished guitarist and pianist, with a style reminiscent of Carole King’s soulful and heartfelt approach to songwriting. Brooks’ ability to blend jazz, blues, and folk influences gives her music a timeless quality, making her a standout presence in the contemporary music scene.
