PIANIST, vocalist, songwriter and producer Oli Rockberger’s fourth studio release, Sovereign is all about transition, growth and independence.

The music for this album came together from a decision to return to his native London after 16 years in the United States developing a career as sideman to big-name jazz instrumentalists including Randy Brecker, Will Lee (alongside Steve Gadd) and Nathan East, as well as recording and performing with acclaimed singer-songwriters Carly Simon, Jesse Harris and John Mayer.

Now based in the capital, Rockberger continues to work internationally as an in-demand sideman, with recent collaborations including Becca Stevens, Richard Spaven, Fridolijn and Louis Cole, in addition to his ongoing work with acclaimed UK songstress Laura Mvula, as a member of her touring band (keys/vocals).

Rockberger will be performing at The Brook on Wednesday as part of a UK release tour for the Oct 20 release of Sovereign.

He will be joined by a stellar group featuring bassist Michael Janisch (Diane Reeves), drummer Marijus Aleksa (China Moses), guitarist Giorgio Serci (Kenny Wheeler) and violinist/vocalist Hannah Read (Songs of Separation).
