Strand presents a night of Soul with Blackjack + Jai Sian and support by Crystal Dawn.
From São Paulo to Belfast via Bangkok, Blackjack + Jai Sian serve up jazz, funk, soul, and serious groove with zero apologies. Led by award-winning Brazilian drummer/producer Henrique ‘Blackjack’ Franco and fronted by smoky-voiced powerhouse Jai Sian (yes, the one who had all four chairs spinning on The Voice UK), this genre-bending collective is anything but background music.
With a live band tighter than your favourite jeans after Christmas, they blend Herbie Hancock’s funk, Erykah Badu’s soul, and Portishead’s moody magic into a sound that hits hard and stays with you.
Come for the musicianship. Stay for the vibe. Leave slightly transformed.
