Laura and Wendy create an uplifting pianos and vocal duo. It is lively background music but not too much in the background ! Pianist, Wendy has a unique style of combining jazz, ragtime, swing and stride piano, that help create a constant lively bounce to the atmosphere. Music that is swinging but not noisy, moving forward and getting your guests toe tapping and finger clicking. If there is no piano available and electric piano can be used.
Laura is an internationally acclaimed vocalist, whose unique vocal styling and great stage presence have won her many fans. She has sold over 25,000 copies of her Debut album around Europe, that won her 2 awards. Coming from a musical family(her father was a successful pianist and an accordion player, her mother was a singer and a model), Laura became highly influenced by her parents musicality from a very young age.
