Lucy Woodward & The Rocketeers

Lucy Woodward is a powerhouse singer whose soulful, impeccably controlled vocals will turn on a dime, from a runaway-train full-throttle intensity to a soft, slow burning sultry whisper, only to take you back into an inferno. Lucy Woodward & The Rocketeers was released in summer 2024 on GroundUP Music. The album features her bespoke 18-person jazz collective - featuring musicians from countries such as The Netherlands, Italy and Ghana - inspired by American composers such as Donny Hathaway and Billy Strayhorn. With dynamic arrangements explicitly written to match Lucy’s passionate vocal manner, color, and timbre; the songs range from high-energy explosions to hauntingly intimate meditations. Throughout her career, Lucy has always genre-bended. And with this jazz orchestra, The Rocketeers, each musician carefully chosen for the project, pulls inspiration from the icons of jazz and pulsing vibrations from the then to the now and future music makers.
