The Church of the Advent Jazz Vespers is thrilled to welcome The Brandy Moore Jazz Trio.

Brandy Moore loves to sing! It's her passion to share the emotion and the story of a great song with a live audience. With impeccable phrasing and a gorgeous voice, she moves seamlessly across genres, touching your heart with a tender lyric one moment, then igniting your soul with fiery grit the next. Brandy has performed in Canada, the United States, Mexico and Portugal, and has five independent CD releases to date. Her latest CD "Real Good Love" was recorded in Nashville with several industry veterans including guitarist George Marinelli (Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Hornsby & the Range) and Grammy-winning saxophonist Phil Kenzie (Paul McCartney, The Eagles). With her easy, inviting stage presence and an unmistakable joy in what she does, Brandy has become a local favourite since moving to Vancouver Island in late 2017.
