“A singular vocalist capable of both power and sweetness...” St Ives Jazz Club
Born in South America and raised in Sweden, Annika Skoogh is a highly versatile and celebrated
multilingual jazz vocalist with a natural talent, who is based in Exeter and brings a special blend of
Scandinavian charm and Latin flavour to her performances.
She leads several ensembles with many sold out performances under her belt and over the years,
she has played at some of the biggest UK jazz festivals.
Annika plays with some of the very best musicians here in the South West and will be joined by
special guest Steve Buckley - alto sax and her regular quartet members; Tom Ball – pianist, Kevin
Sanders – double bass and Gary Evans – drums. Together they’ll treat you to an eclectic mix of
songs, some of Annika’s absolute favourite jazz standards, Latin, Nordic Jazz and contemporary
tunes. Expect to hear some original songs and songs by Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, Paul
Simon, Wayne Shorter, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Miles Davies, Hoagy Carmichael, and James Taylor,
to name but a few.
You might have seen Annika at Matthew’s Hall before as she also runs a Swedish micro bakery
and regularly has her Fika stall at the hall.
This promises to be a great evening, so don’t miss it!
