Elizabeth Shepherd has gained acclaim both at home (Canada) and abroad. Her albums have captured the ears of jazz tastemakers around the world including no less than Gilles Peterson. Elizabeth was nominated for nominated for a Best Vocal Jazz Juno Award in 2007 and has again been nominated for “Jazz Artist of the Year” by The Canadian Independent Music Awards, known as “The Indies”.
Her Trio features her sultry and funky vocal jazz and piano sound backed by the hard-swinging rhythm section of Scott Kemp (bass) and Colin Kingsmore (drums).
As far as being a “jazz performer”, Elizabeth does not count herself as one to be defined by a particular genre; her music comes straight from the soul, and is more than just what she does, but what she loves and who she is.
