"Breaking Free" Feb 26, 2016 Ever since she fell for the blues via her father’s record collection – then fronted his band aged just fourteen – it was clear that Layla had a voice in a million.
Those astonishing lungs have led her from early cover bands in British Columbia to her debut solo album in 2005, through sessions with Henrik Freischlader and hook-ups with Sonny Landreth, and onto world-renowned stages from Montreal Jazz Festival to Rockpalast.
No wonder that her much-missed friend and occasional collaborator Jeff Healey was once moved to comment: She’s created probably the biggest buzz vocally of any singer I’ve heard about in years in Toronto.
She is wonderful… Now, as she unveils her new roof-raising material, the buzz on the international blues scene is deafening.
Breaking Free and breaking through, in 2016, Layla Zoe comes armed with the album that delivers on her skyscraping potential.
