Josie Field and Laurie Levine
The blues infused vocal-rock of Josie Field connects with the intimate folk, country styles of Laurie Levine to create a unique and intimate musical experience.
Dubbed the ‘Collaboration of the Year’, and winners of the Standard Bank Ovation award in Grahamstown in 2014, these two Joburg-based singer songwriters have created a show that has gone from strength to strength over the last three years.
Following a string of successful national tours and the development of their well loved unique musical partnership, the singer songwriters have decided to take their collaboration to the next level by releasing their first co written album consisting of a collection of brand new original material.
The first of its kind for two female South African singer songwriters, Tigerlily is a rich blend of Josie’s deep, soulful blues tones with Laurie’s velvet honey country inflections, with a strong focus on their elegant harmonies.
