Three-time Grammy Winner, Bill Laurance, an English native, is a world-renowned multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer dubbed a “jazz maestro” by The Guardian.

On his own, Laurance, a professional musician since the age of 14, has performed with an array of musical talents including Morcheeba, David Crosby, Salif Keita, Bobby McFerrin, Susana Baca, Laura Mvula, Musiq SoulChild and the Metropole Orchestra. Laurance is also a founding member of Snarky Puppy, the Grammy-winning collective phenomenon.

He’s worked with several world-famous dance companies, including Alvin Ailey, Ballet Rambert, Matthew Bourne’s Adventures in Motion Pictures, Phoenix Dance, Northern Ballet Theatre and the English National Ballet. Laurance is also Artist in Residence at the world-famous Morley College of Music in London.

2018 promises to be an extremely busy and varied year for Bill. His film soundtrack for the independent film, Un Traductor, premiered at the 2018 Sundance Festival. Bill appeared at the GroundUp Festival in Miami, was part of the sell out North American tour with Snarky Puppy and is currently recording and mixing his next album in New York. This album is piano and electronics based and will be released later in the year. There will be worldwide touring with this solo project, as well as with his group and special one-off performances as a special guest.

A former track star and gymnast, Peoria, Illinois-born Liv Warfield began building her legend, in of all places, Portland, Oregon. Despite having no formal background in singing, she gained the respect of local superstars and became an icon in her own right.

While she takes cues from musical influences like Nina Simone, Etta James, Sade, Tina Turner, and Mary J. Blige, Warfield has carved out a style all her own, which can best be described as “alternative soul with a lil bit of Rock ‘n’ Roll.” In 2006, she self-released her debut album “Embrace Me.” By 2009, she caught the eye of the one-and-only Prince and ultimately joined his group the “New Power Generation.”

After touring for several years and soaking up as much knowledge as she could from the ultimate music mentor, Warfield made her big splash on the national scene in 2014, first as a feature artist for Vh1’s “You Oughta Know” campaign, and then with the release of her major label debut album “The Unexpected,” which was executive produced by Prince. What followed were show-stopping performances on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” “The Late Show with David Letterman,” and “The Arsenio Hall Show;” a 2014 Soul Train Music Award and nominations for two others; a BET Best New Artist Award nomination; an interview with National Public Radio; and high-profile cosigns from Lionel Richie, Cindy Lauper, and Nancy Wilson of HEART. That same year, Warfield’s performance closing out Essence Fest was hailed as one of the most memorable after shows at the New Orleans House of Blues. In 2015, the accolades only kept growing, with Warfield and the NPG Hornz being named one of the top 10 bands to see at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. It’s no wonder she has left celebrities like Letterman declaring it’s time to “cancel show business!”

In 2017, Warfield began the next phase of her ascension, collaborating with another one of her childhood influences, the aforementioned Nancy Wilson, to create the band Roadcase Royale. Their lead single “Get Loud” was featured prominently in the 2017 Women’s March and they released their debut album “First Things First” later that year. If that weren’t enough, their remake of HEART’s “These Dreams” was featured in the film “Molly’s Game,” which starred Idris Elba, Jessica Chastain, and Kevin Costner and was released in November 2017.

Going forward, expect Warfield’s star to only continue growing.
