11 August(mon) - Saul ASHBY

11 August(mon) - Saul ASHBY + Tommy LUDGATE + DRISCAL + Sarah Barton KEELEY

 DOORS : 7:30pm

SAUL ASHBY

On stage : TBC

This multitalented English fellow harmonizes with the accompaniment of drummer, Chris St. Hilaire, and bassist, Kiyoshi Matsuyama. The delight in Sauls songs stem from the intimacy of his lyrics to the resonance of his voice, which soothes like a lullaby.

It was difficult for the artist himself to place his music in a specific category, and perhaps that is because his tunes ring out several different musical flavors. The guitar playing resembles a folk sound but the drums add a hip lift, and, on the other hand, there is a hint of Elton Johns style from Tiny Dancer when Saul plays his piano chords.

TOMMY LUDGATE

On stage : TBC

 At just 21 years old, Tommy Ludgate is spreading her wings on the London music scene, writing superbly crafted, soulful tunes and delivering them with her assembly of highly talented musicians. She has a flair for lyricism and this teamed with her musical arrangements, inspired by a combination of blues, jazz and soul, create stunning sonic pictures for all to hear.

DRISCAL

On stage : TBC

 ‘People Conversation Occupation’ is a bittersweet journey that chronicles the pain and heartbreak of the decisions we all make in life with all it’s peaks and troughs; from Children through Financial meltdown to Marriage Guidance, from Bed-sit through Alcoholism to the search for the solace of a Soul Mate. It’s an emotional and honest account of the things that happen to all of us: And it’s Highbrow’.
 

SARAH BARTON KEELEY

On stage : TBC  

 Sarah is an incredibly gifted singer songwriter who captivates audiences with her beautiful and honest music. Her delicate melodies coupled with passionate and cathartic lyrics are characteristics that have led to comparisons with artists such as Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell and Tori Amos. An appearance from Sarah guarantees that anyone listening will never forget what they've witnessed. Still in her early twenties, she is already attracting considerable label interest.

"I've always loved music ever since I was a little girl. Although I wrote songs from a really early age, it wasn't until my teenage years that I really thought about what I wanted to say in my songs and then relate my personal experiences and feelings to the music and lyrics.
