Laura & The Jazz Capsule

Laura & The Jazz Capsule are a female-led collective of musicians creating music that’s brimming with nostalgia. In its first year, the band has already supported international artists such as Elbow, released their debut EP ‘Slow Down’ and have been shortlisted for the prestigious UK Peter Whittingham Jazz Award. The band is headed up by Laura Arundell, whose love for artists such as Ella Fitzgerald and Gregory Porter shines through in both her songwriting and musicianship. Laura is backed by some of the South West’s top session players, including one of the most in-demand musicians on the European jazz and alternative music scene, Jim Hart. The band mostly performs live as a vocal/guitar duo featuring seasoned guitarist, Matthew Arundell. They are usually found harnessing a vintage vibe at festivals, venues and events across the South West, playing their own material alongside 40s jazz classics. This has included playing corporate events for the likes of ITV and BBC.
