The Brook, 466 Portswood Road, Southampton
Pianist and vocalist Oli Rockberger releases his fourth album, Sovereign this month. He spent 16 years in America cutting his teeth as a sideman to the likes of Randy Brecker, John Mayer and Nathan East and now he continues to establish himself as a frontman.
