January 14, 2007 - Jazz & Neo-Soul songstress, Tracy Hamlin, began her winter 2007 tour
starting in London, England. Hamlin, former lead vocalist from Pieces
of a Dream, along with back-up band G-Funk, rocked The Pizza Express
Jazz Café in London's Soho district for seven shows culminating with
a New Year's Eve concert which was opened by Acoustic Alchemy. This
was G-Funk featuring Tracy Hamlin's first gig at The Pizza and
according to club management, Hamlin and G-Funk will be returning
annually for this New Years Eve bash.
Tracy's next stop is a top 10 American Jazz club, Blues Alley.
Hamlin and her band will be at Blues Alley on Monday February 5th for
two shows, 8PM and 10PM. Founded in 1965, Blues Alley is the nation's
oldest continuing jazz supper club, having showcased internationally
renowned concert hall artists such as Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughan,
Nancy Wilson, Grover Washington Jr., Ramsey Lewis, Charlie Byrd,
Maynard Ferguson and Eva Cassidy in a small intimate setting. Located
in the heart of historic Georgetown in an 18th century red brick
carriage house, Blues Alley offers its patrons a unique ambiance,
reminiscent of the jazz clubs of the 1920's and 30's.
The final stop on Hamlin's winter 2007 tour is Sweet Lorraine's
Jazz Club in New Orleans Louisiana. Tracy will be at Sweet
Lorraine's Mardi Gras weekend Saturday February 17th for two shows,
10PM and Midnight. Sweet Lorraine's has been featured in both
ESSENCE and Travel & Leisure Magazine. USA Today noted Sweet
Lorraine's Jazz Club as one of the Top 10 Jazz Clubs in the Country.
