A recent graduate of Boston’s renowned Berklee College of Music she has already performed or recorded with the likes of Quincy Jones, Burt Bacharach, Josh Groban, Linda Ronstadt, Smokey Robinson and Pharrell Williams. Currently appearing as a featured artist with Scott Bradlee’s acclaimed Postmodern Jukebox, she includes numerous performances in the US, Europe and Middle East on an impressive international schedule. But it is as a performer in her own right that she is currently making serious waves worldwide.

Tonight Aubrey will be showcasing her talent by performing some of the songs from the upcoming album supported by a 5-piece band of hand picked, UK based, ex-Berklee alumni. Should be an exciting night from this impressive newcomer to the international jazz scene....
