Lioness provide an accomplished tribute to the precocious talent of Amy Winehouse, featuring vocalist Emma Wright alongside a full seven-piece backing band, carefully selected to recreate the heady mix of jazz, soul and pop that became synonymous with Winehouse as her career progressed. Their performance at Bristol's O2 Academy is one of a nine-date tour spanning March, April and May 2018.
Widely regarded as one of the best artists of a generation, Amy Winehouse's sound transcended genres and reflected her love of music. She released two studio albums in her career - 2003's Frank and Back to Black in 2006 - with the latter reaching number 1 in the album chart in eight countries.
Her work with a range of musicians including hip-hop pioneer Mos Def and legendary jazz artist Tony Bennett reflect the gravity of her talent and passion. Winehouse tragically passed away in 2011 after struggling with drug and alcohol use, but her legacy lives on through the music she left behind.
The task of covering one of the most unique British voices of all time is left to accomplished songstress Emma Wright, taking you on a journey through the emotional roller coaster of Winehouse's songwriting, guaranteed to have you singing and dancing along throughout the performance. The band are made up of hand-picked experienced musicians, carefully selected to maintain the accuracy to the original performances of the UK’s brightest star.
