Episode #6 - Aubrey Logan

Author: The Brass Ark & Bob Reeves Brass June 10, 2020 Duration: 54:10

She's a singer. She's a trombone player. She's a songwriter. She's a performer. It would have been a lot easier if Aubrey Logan would have just picked one. But she's never been one to be pigeon-holed. She lives her life outside the box and that makes her difficult to define. And that's okay with her because she purposely defies definition. Her Top 5 debut album in 2017 helped establish her as one of the premier young singer-instrumentalists in the country. Her participation in Dave Koz's #1 album, Summer Horns, helped cement her position. But it was her own #1 album in 2019 that really helped Aubrey Logan become a household name with music aficionados around the world. Because it was that album, Where the Sunshine is Expensive, that showed the depth of songwriting that she's capable of. 

In between her recording commitments, Logan finds time to share the stage with artists such as Alabama Shakes, Meghan Trainor, Pharrell Williams, Josh Groban, Dave Koz, The Commodores and The Boston Pops at venues as diverse as Ronnie Scott's famous jazz club in London to the expansive Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. She's appeared on Jimmy Kimmel, the Grammys' Award Show, and ABC's The Goldbergs. Aubrey has recorded a duet with her childhood hero, Gloria Estefan. She's won multiple awards at the Montreux Jazz Festival. She's beloved by not just the dedicated fans of Postmodern Jukebox, but she considers the creator, Scott Bradlee, and her colleagues within the collective her true friends. And she loves performing. But it's in her writing that we find out who Aubrey Logan really is. Learn more about Aubrey Logan at www.aubreylogan.com.
