Meredith, NH – The Loft at Hermit Woods Winery is proud to present an evening of soul-stirring Brazilian jazz with the Josie Lawrence Collective on Thursday, July 17, 2025. Guests are invited to enjoy world-class music, locally inspired cuisine, and award-winning wines in one of New Hampshire’s most intimate performance spaces.

The evening begins with a complimentary wine tasting from 5:30 to 6:00 PM, followed by dinner service starting at 6:00 PM. The show begins promptly at 7:00 PM, with drinks and dessert available throughout the performance.

About the Performance
In the wake of the passing of bossa nova icon Astrud Gilberto, vocalist and composer Josie Lawrence was moved to honor her legacy with a stunning debut album, Komorebi. This heartfelt tribute blends the rhythmic heartbeat of Brazil with Josie's distinctive voice and original compositions—ranging from lively sambas to haunting bossa ballads.

At The Loft, Josie and her jazz quintet will perform selections from Komorebi, along with timeless jazz standards and bossa nova classics. The ensemble features:

• Josie Lawrence – vocals

• Clifford Cameron – piano

• Asa Meyer-Waldo – bass

• John Suntken – drums

• Jesse Beckett Herbert – tenor sax & flute

The Loft offers a unique “listening room” atmosphere where guests are encouraged to truly immerse themselves in the music. We kindly ask that attendees refrain from conversation during the performance to honor the artists and fellow listeners.

After the show, guests are invited to meet the performers, chat about the music, and purchase any available merchandise or albums.
