Rachel Sutton’s rich tone and sense of swing, coupled with her background in theatre, makes her an engaging interpreter of both classic Jazz and more contemporary repertoire. Also a gifted songwriter, Rachel’s widely acclaimed debut album, A Million Conversations, was called ‘a revelation’ by Jazz Views and displays her talent for both achingly tender and uplifting song writing.

Rachel’s vocal abilities have landed her roles in award winning shows at the Edinburgh and New York Fringe. She has performed sell out gigs at top London Jazz clubs as well as venues and festivals across the UK and abroad. Her role in ‘Lansky: The Mob’s Money Man’ at The Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank and Cadogan Hall, received wide acclaim – ‘stand out performer‘ London Jazz News.

Her performances create both an exciting and moving experience for her audience and her theatrical training is at the core of every song. Rachel’s flair for entertainment and easy rapport with an audience is gaining her a first class reputation.
