New Beginnings…A Season of Adventure!

“Whose Shadow?” Starts Receiving Wonderful Press

Reviews of my sophomore album “Whose Shadow?” (released March 30) are just beginning to come in (and regularly updated on my Press page). I was floored to receive a truly remarkable review (also the first from the USA!) from Everett. R. Davis at All About Jazz:

“She has emerged from the Canadian scene with a spellbinding voice…with boldly unique style and a vocal attitude of her own. With exceptional tonal control and her mastery of inflection, Lara Solnicki has without doubt, charted her vocal journey, affirming her position as a world class jazz singer.”

Just Announced: The Montreal “Whose Shadow?” CD Release Concert

Montreal is arguably one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and as some say my “home away from home”.
