About the show
Award-winning independent artist Lara Eidi returns to Green Note for an intimate solo show that brings together the many strands of her musical world — original songs and compositions, folk, jazz, improvisation and music carried across cultures and generations — with special guest James Riley opening the afternoon.
Born in Athens to Lebanese-Canadian parents and having just relocated to London , Lara is a well loved fiercely independent singer, songwriter, pianist and composer whose work has always moved freely between musical worlds. She has performed across the UK, Europe and Lebanon, from the Royal Albert Hall, the 606, and Union Chapel to intimate stages and independent venues, with her music featured on BBC Radio, France 24 and international media.
But genre has never really been the thread. The voice is. Whether singing one of her own compositions, finding new freedom inside a jazz song, or inhabiting music passed down through folk and Mediterranean traditions, Lara is drawn to what happens when a song becomes personal - and to the connection created between the person singing and the people listening.
Opening the afternoon is James Riley, a songwriter and performer whose music moves between folk, soul and acoustic pop, combining poetic, story-led lyrics with a distinctive percussive guitar style.
