Poppy Baker Enjoy a enchanting evening with young UK jazz sensation Poppy Baker and her band. One of the UK’s most exciting young singer-songwriters, Poppy’s captivating songs straddle the jazz, soul and indie genres – with melodies that cut straight to the heart. Despite her tender years Poppy Baker has already performed across the UK – including at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival, PizzaExpress Live, the Upton Blues Festival and the Eastside Jazz Festival – where she performed as a soloist with the BBC Big Band. A regular performer at Birmingham’s Eastside Jazz Club and at Digbeth Jazz, Poppy Baker studied jazz vocals at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire under Sara Colman and Noemi Nuti. “If you like Eva Cassidy, Laufey or Stacey Ryan, then you’ll love Poppy Baker!” PizzaExpress Live “Poppy Baker brings her love of contemporary styles and adds a jazz sensibility. Evocative and moody and beautifully sung, with just the tiniest bit of edge – I love it!” Sara Colman “Poppy’s rendition of Nick Drake’s ‘River Man’ was gorgeously expressive.” UK Jazz News Poppy Baker website here
