Curtis Lavender

Bass

Curtis’ musical journey started off taking saxophone lessons in first school, which were then followed up with singing lessons from the age of 12. From there, he began to be involved in a variety of different genres of music, from playing in concert bands and big bands, to forming a high school rock band, to participating in countless musical theatre groups, all the while picking up different instruments to add to his arsenal. This formed the groundwork for Curtis to pursue music seriously as a career path, so he took to studying music in a Higher Education setting.

After graduating from the Academy of Contemporary Music with a degree in Professional Music Performance, he has gone on to play in a number of different settings, including playing with the touring rock ‘n’ roll tribute show, Lipstick On Your Collar, and long standing rock ‘n’ roll variety show, That’ll Be The Day, as well as playing for a number of original music projects and even playing guitar for Mamma Mia – The Party at the O2. He has also musically directed a number of local amateur dramatic shows including summer schools at The Hawth in Crawley, and has had the privilege of musically directing the award winning musical, Summer In The City at Upstairs At The Gatehouse in Highgate, London. His most recent role was as Don Everly for Walk Right Back – The Everly Brothers’ Story.
