We’re back for our monthly show at To The Moon in Old Market. Come see some of the most talented songwriters at one of Bristol’s most intimate shows. Plus we’ll have a floor spot from Roland George Harrad. Hosted by americana/folk duo Fritillaries.
Jack Harris
Jack Harris' songs take a compassionate look at things both common and uncommon, and see them differently. They are literate, curious, often in character, and always intriguing. His latest album, ‘The Wide Afternoon’, produced by UK folk giant Gerry Diver (Sam Lee, Lisa Knapp, Tom Robinson), was released in November 2016 to universal press acclaim.
Jack was a SXSW showcasing artist at 17, and the youngest ever winner of the Kerrville Folk Festival’s New Folk Award in 2005 (previous winners include Gillian Welch, Devon Sproule and Anais Mitchell). He has been the recipient of the PRS ATOM award for new music creation, as well as an EFDSS creative bursary for songwriting.
‘Jack Harris is a priest of song who holds himself to a rigorous, ancient code of beauty most of us have forgotten exists.’ Anais Mitchell
JOW
JOW are a new acoustic duo of James Gow (cello) and Pete Judge (trumpet).
James is an outstanding young multi-instrumentalist who has worked for both Kneehigh and Wise Children theatre companies, and plays with the quartet Eleven Magpies. Pete is the trumpeter with BBC Jazz Award winners Get The Blessing and multi-instrumentalist with Three Cane Whale, amongst many other projects.
Expect a set of niche tunes that inhabit a land somewhere between the worlds of jazz, folk and classical chamber music, with intricate arrangements and plenty of room for atmosphere and improvisation. “Jow have the ability to find the eccentricities of life’s littlest moments and expand them into calm, complex and truly uplifting music”
Roland George Harrad
Roland George Harrad is a singer/songwriter. He's about to release his first album 'Full Spiral', which was recorded over lockdown. He draws on inspiration from songwriters like Gillian Welch, Fionn Regan, and Loudon Wainright III. As a Bristolian, he is looking forward to finally playing a gig in his home city.
