Philadelphia's jazz vocalist, songwriter and bandleader Michelle Lordi will be joined by acclaimed guitarist Tim Motzer and bassist Matthew Parrish.

Vocalist, songwriter and bandleader Michelle Lordi has received international accolades and heavy rotation on jazz radio stations in the US and abroad for her recording projects, including "Eidolon" (2018) with Tim Motzer, who will be joining her for this performance.

Her previous releases are "Drive" (2015) and "Dream a Little Dream" (2017). The title song from her album "Drive" was on heavy rotation on more than 20 jazz stations and was included in NPR Jazz Night in America broadcasts, while the album "Drive" reached the top 50 on the jazz charts.

Whether she's exploring experimental soundscapes in her original music ("Eidolon" with Motzer) and Warren Defever, performing with bebop jazz legends ("Dream a Little Dream"), or delivering her taut, mesmerizing jazz interpretations of pop ballads ("Drive" with Orrin Evans and Eric Wortham II), Lordi's profound love of the music she chooses to sing and the musicians she creates it with is evident in every note of her vividly expressive and elegantly communicative voice.

Lordi is poised to launch a new recording of originals and reimagined standards with producer Warren Defever (Detroit, MI) of the band His Name Is Alive. Her original composition "Scare the Ghost" is included in the Philadelphia Real Book project (2018).

Lordi has performed in performance venues, jazz clubs and festivals such including the Mann Music Center, The Kimmel Center, Chris Jazz Café, and SOUTH, all in Philadelphia; Birdland, Cornelia Street Café, Mezzrow and Minton's, all in New York City; twice at the Pinelands Jazz Festival in Medford, NJ; and at other venues in the Midwest.
