After enjoying a string of sold out gigs in the spring of 2016 and having completed a nine month run in the West End musical The Bodyguard, including a three month run in Toronto, Knight is back on the road.

Her set will feature hits from her career, highlights from her Soulsville album and a few customary surprises that fans have come expect from her legendary live shows including the Radio 2 A-listed airplay hit Middle Of Love and her version of the Ann Peebles classic I Can’t Stand The Rain.

Recorded at Royal Studios in Memphis, Soulsville celebrates the music, sounds and legacy of Memphis and was produced by Grammy nominated Justin Stanley, who has worked with stars such as Prince and Beck. It features original material co-written by Knight, alongside a handful of classic Memphis covers.
