Vancouver-based singer LJ Mounteney will hold an official CD release concert at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre Sunday.
She’s celebrating the release of Here in the Dark, which marks her first solo CD. It came out in late 2016 and took her about two years to complete.
Mounteney, who sings jazz, blues, pop, R&B and big band swing, enjoys singing multiple genres of music.
“I like to be able to get up with the 11-piece R&B band and really belt it and then turn around and do something really intimate and sultry with a trio,” she says.
Mounteney has been performing as a solo artist, along with being in a duo as well as being involved with a gypsy jazz band.
The CD includes her original song and title track Here in the Dark.
The event is set for Sunday with doors at 7 p.m. and the show at 7:30 p.m. at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre, 1172-56th St.
The show will include musicians Graham Howell (sax, flute), Phil Belanger (drums, percussion), James Meger (acoustic and electric bass) and Jon Roper (acoustic, electric and lap steel guitar).
Tickets are $18 in advance or $22 at the door. Tickets are $15 for seniors/students. Call 604-943-9437 or visit deltareg.ca (use barcode 389160).
