Vanessa Forero brings her uplifting, soul-soaked live show to Bath, riding the wave of a breakthrough year and the release of her debut album 'Days Before' (out 15 May). Blending modern soul, retro pop and gospel warmth, her sound is intimate yet expansive in a performance that's rich, dynamic and full of heart.

Rooted in both her British upbringing and Colombian heritage, Forero's music carries a unique sense of rhythm, colour and spirit. From the soulful, storytelling tradition of UK songwriting to the warmth and vibrancy of Latin influence, her sound feels globally rich while remaining deeply personal.

Forero's shows are fast gaining a reputation for their feel-good, spirit and emotional pull. Moving effortlessly from hushed, piano-led moments to soaring, full-bodied highs, Forero creates an atmosphere that feels both deeply personal and irresistibly uplifting.

Between songs, she shares glimpses of her extraordinary family story. Forero co-wrote a book about her mother, Marina Chapman, whose life story was featured in 'Woman Raised by Monkeys' on National Geographic and on Ben Fogle: 'New Lives in the Wild'. It's a remarkable narrative of survival, resilience, and ultimately hope. These themes resonate deeply with Vanessa's music.

With 'Days Before', Forero steps fully into her own as an artist. The album is a bold, heartfelt collection that marks her evolution into a richer, more expansive sound, bringing together her band for the first time. This is my shameless record, she says, an unapologetic celebration of joy, honesty and musical roots. From raw reflection to uplifting, gospel-tinged anthems, Days Before is alive with emotion, connection and pure, life-affirming energy.
