The act
One guitar, one microphone, one looper, and out of that comes something much bigger than one person. Jade Soul stacks vocal harmonies live, drawing on neo-soul, jazz and folk for a sound that resists an easy label. She's got three fifty-minute sets of originals and three of covers, the covers taking in Valerie and Back to Black, Dreams, Feeling Good, Give Me One Reason, Glory Box, Tennessee Whiskey and Erykah Badu. Years of stages behind her, from festivals and weddings through to funerals, where she plays with real care for the room. She can go up to four hours, arrange a duo if you want accompaniment, and brings her own PA if the venue hasn't got one. Public liability insurance is in place.

Good to know
What to expect
One guitar, a microphone and a loop station, and Jade builds the rest live by stacking her own harmonies. She reads the space and plays to it, so a restaurant set and a party set are genuinely different nights. Up to four hours of music is on the table, more for a wedding, and if you'd rather not have a solo act she can arrange a duo. Most of what she writes is her own, but there's a solid stack of covers in there too, the sort people know without being told.
On the day
Jade has a moderate PA she'll bring if the venue hasn't got one. A power source is the main thing she needs from you. Cables and extension leads she sorts herself once she knows the layout, so it's worth describing the space, and where the power sits in it, when you enquire.
Performance options
Solo is the standard, and she can put together a duo or a band, or DJ, given enough notice. For a wedding she'll customise songs for you, and with time up her sleeve she'll write one for the day itself. She also plays funerals, which she treats carefully and with a lot of respect for the room.
