“This is jazz mastery.” – Downbeat Magazine

Join us for a sultry evening with internationally acclaimed chanteuse, Lauren Henderson. A permanent fixture in the international jazz scene described as "somewhere between a comforting whisper and a cogent declaration" by The New York Times, Lauren Henderson paints reflective and impassioned stories with a smoky, haunting voice and enchanting compositions. Recognized as one of 10 Jazz Artists Blending and Expanding The Sounds Of Latin America by the Recording Academy, Lauren's music and artistic contributions are featured on Grammy.com.

Recently the cover of the Spotify Vocal Jazz Playlist, Lauren Henderson's music resonates with listeners around the world, captivating a broad audience of music aficionados.

Featured in the Financial Times, breaking the Jazz Charts Top 5, and the Year End Jazz Week Top 30, Henderson's eclectic vocal influences spread across genres producing a distinct yet versatile sound. Her original music is featured in Sky Rojo (Netflix), The Drowning (Netflix), El Juego de Las Llaves (Amazon), and Romeo y Julieta (starring Lupita Nyong’o), scored by one of Lauren’s musical collaborators, Michael Thurber.

Henderson uncovers the layers of her diverse background in English and Spanish. Her compositions paint stories reflecting journeys imposed through the African Diaspora in connection to her Panamanian, Montserratian, and vast Caribbean roots as they interplay with her North American upbringing. Jazz, Latin Jazz, Flamenco, R&B and Soul roots aid in an exploration of culture, society, race, love, and the complexities encountered as we navigate life's obstacles.

Embarking on her 10th world tour, Henderson has performed in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Poland, Norway, Russia, Mexico, and South Africa, living up to her growing reputation as a "vibrant new star singer" - Downbeat Magazine.
