Lavay Smith, vocalist and bandleader of the Red Hot Skillet Lickers has become an internationally recognized Diva of Jazz and Blues, with a singing style influenced by Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Bessie Smith, Little Esther Phillips and other legendary greats.
This sultry chanteuse evokes a sensuous era of Jazz queens and sexy pinups and adds a modern, feminist twist. Lavay’s big, bluesy voice, exciting stage personality, and glamorous approach attract crowds around the world.
