Rhiannan Longley is a jazz band for hire in Perth, WA.
People tend to remember the voice first: pure, and unlike anyone else on the Perth jazz circuit. Rhiannan Longley is a Perth jazz vocalist in the final year of a Bachelor of Jazz Performance at WAAPA, and she's already sung to crowds of four thousand plus, and shared stages with Katie Noonan and Gian Slater. Ella Fitzgerald, Carmen McRae, Billie Holiday and Astrud Gilberto sit behind the phrasing, with Gretchen Parlato and Esperanza Spalding pulling it somewhere more modern. The sets mix easy listening standards, catchy Latin numbers and ballads most guests will know. Past rooms include the Perth Concert Hall, Government House, the Burswood Lobby Lounge and the Rendezvous Hotel. Books as a duo, trio, quartet or quintet with some of WA's best young players.

Hi Rhiannan, thank you so much for helping us with the music and emceeing, it was awesome and there were heaps of praises for the band :)We appreciate it so much and had a blast, everything went so smoothly that we could not ask for more! I’m sure that there will be a lot of requests for your number and I will be sure to forward it on.

Rhiannon Longley was fantastic. I spent much of my night running around, so I didn’t get much of a chance to hear her but they performed our first dance song perfectly. They were very professional, set up very quickly inside after rain stopped them from setting up outside. I have had many compliments from guests about their performance, especially Rhiannon’s amazing voice. They adapted their song choices perfectly to the event, and we were extremely happy.

Everyone seemed very happy with Rhiannon and her band. Please pass on our appreciation and thank her and the band for travelling to Busselton and playing for the night. We will certainly be looking at working with you again for next year.
