A young artist with a soulful voice and ethereal productions, Pip Millett will perform before Sam Smith on July 5 at the Auditorium Stravinski. The Manchester-based singer cites Joni Mitchell, Lauryn Hill and Otis Redding as her inspirations. She paid tribute to the latter with a superb cover of the classic “Try a Little Tenderness”.
