Clare Teal Hits the Road: Coast to Coast USA, with Tommy Blaize

4 July | 7.30 – 10.00pm (Gates at 6:30pm)

As part of our year-long America 250 programme, join us on this special Independence Day performance marking 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, with a celebration of Tin Pan Alley and the Great American Songbook.

Get your kicks from Chicago to L.A. with The Clare Teal 5! Join their uplifting road trip across America stopping wherever the mood feels right - jazz, blues, swing, country, latin, rock 'n' roll, R&B, salsa, alongside hit songs by great writers made famous by trail blazing artists.

Award winning jazz singer and broadcaster Clare Teal with special guest Tommy Blaize put their own spin on some of the greatest songs ever written sharing stories and anecdotes of the people who created and performed them.

Tommy Blaize is used to entertaining millions of people on a weekly basis as lead singer of the BBC Strictly Come Dancing band, his powerful yet sensitive performances have helped create some of the most memorable TV moments of recent times. Singing live to a studio audience every week, Tommy is the man with the golden pipes whose unique, soulful sound is etched in the public consciousness.

As part of this exciting musical extravaganza Clare is keen to encourage and support young artists and the local music scene. This year she has invited Ben Cipolla a genre-defying young singer, guitarist, and songwriter from the West Country whose music blends soulful vocals, jazz-rooted harmony, and laid-back rhythms radiating warmth and originality to participate in the weekend's events both as a support act and a guest. Clare and Ben first met in 2013 and have this year released 'Love and Affection' – their acclaimed duets project.

The performance will take place on the terrace lawn, don’t forget to bring a chair or a blanket to sit on, there are a limited amount of terrace seating tickets too. A bar and BBQ will be available so you can have supper and a truly relaxing evening in the stunning setting overlooking Limpley Stoke Valley.    

Plus support from Ben Cipolla
