A 15-year-old Vancouver jazz singer whose work is already receiving international airplay will be onstage in Burnaby in April.
Maya Rae is set to perform at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts on Wednesday, April 4, backed by the Miles Black Quintet.
Rae’s debut album from 2017, Sapphire Birds, showcases her unique repertoire – ranging from originals inspired by life at school and home to fresh covers of jazz standards and unique renditions of her favourite pop songs by artists such as Meghan Trainor and Christina Aguilera.
She has performed with such A-list Vancouver jazz musicians as Cory Weeds, Joel Fountain, Vince Mai and Andre Lachance, and, in 2017, CBC Music named her one of the 35 Best Canadian Jazz Artists Under 35.
Shadbolt Centre is at 6450 Deer Lake Ave. Buy tickets through tickets.shadboltcentre.com or call 604-205-3000.
