Lily Dior Sings The Soulful Ladies of Jazz - Billie Holiday, Nina Simone and Sarah Vaughan.

The material will be drawn from these three iconic vocalists' vast repertoire, all performed with the powerful and charismatic vocals that are Lily Dior's trademark. 

An expat Australian singer now settled in London, Lily comes with an impressive and extensive cv. The daughter of professional musicians, she spent her first five years touring the world before finally settling in Australia. Her debut album ‘Invitation’ received universal praise and put Lily firmly on the Australian music map.

"She can belt out a song, dramatize a lyric, swing hard and earthy, flirt, sing a tender song - Lily can tell a story" ABC.

In what is now an extensive and highly respected career, Lily is recognised as one of Australia’s foremost vocalists.  She has shared the stage with a who’s who of world-class musicians including Oscar Castro Neves, Dale Barlow and James Morrison and includes numerous TV and Radio appearances as well as hosting her own show on Sydney’s premier jazz station ‘Eastside Radio’ for over ten years.

“Jazz and soul coexist in Lily Dior’s repertoire, and in her vocal style... sassy, soulful, passionate and strong.” Rhythms magazine

Jo has worked with Tina May, Joe Temperley, Scott Hamilton, Elkie Brooks and cites Illinois Jacquet, Sonny Rollins and Dexter Gordon as her main influences.
