Westerman

Friday 22nd September 2017
St Pancras Church, London

Featuring as Clash Magazine’s ‘Track Of The Day’, Westerman’s ‘Roads’ takes contemporary folk as we know it and innovates it with his own, signature style. Introduced by an on-going, almost restless, guitar plucking, the track is soon met with its main event; Westerman’s slightly muted vocals which are amplified by a hollowing reverberation that echoes throughout the whole song. The new single then delves into different territories with the introduction of ghostly electronic beats and a soulful, piano breakdown that elevate the track into fresh and innovative grounds. However ‘Roads’ takes quite a different turn to Westerman’s previous single ‘Misanthropé’, whose sounds of beachy white sounds aligned with palm trees is a world away from ‘Roads’ fragility. To ensure you catch Westerman perform his new single at his only London date, buy your tickets today.

Picture This

Wednesday 1st November 2017
O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London.

The first band to ever sell out Dublin’s The Academy venue for their debut gig, Irish pop-rock duo Picture This are ready to take the UK by storm. Formed by childhood friends Ryan Hennessy and Jimmy Rainsford, the pair have just released their first, self-titled album which is the embodiment of reckless youth and young love. Opening track ‘Take My Hand’ is the perfect example of this young-at heart, sprightly sound with acoustic guitars and the thumping of drums all building up into an explosive, festival-ready chorus; one that can be easily imagined echoing around a sold-out arena whilst punters clap and sing along in unison. Aiding this punchy chorus is lead-singer Hennessy, whose strong voice and Irish charm shines throughout the catchy, love-stricken lyrics. With an already stellar record of selling out gigs, buy your tickets now to avoid missing out on Picture This.

Blind Pilot

Monday 30th October 2017
Bush Hall, London.

With their latest album, ‘And Then Like Lions’, reaching an impressive second spot in the US folk music charts, Blind Pilot are soon looking to become big players on the contemporary folk scene. On the back of their massive US tour, the band will be touring several dates across the UK as a trio of members Israel, Luke and Ryan to put on a special, intimate show of live music. What stands so profound, and ever consistent, with Blind Pilot’s music is their outstanding song writing abilities. Inspired and motivated by the death of his father, lead-singer Israel wrote ‘And Then Like Lions’ in the face of his heartache; and it’s this raw vulnerability that shines through every word spoken, with each song reading as if from a timeless poetry collection. These moving lyrics sit perfectly against the subtle gracefulness of guitars and pianos, together telling Israel’s narrative in a way that is so delicate yet still poignant.
