Birmingham show for jazz act Snowpoet
Snowpoet are back and bringing their distinct sound out on the road to Birmingham.
Thought You Knew is their second album, released recently, and the London-based band led by Jazz FM Vocalist of the Year 2016 Lauren Kinsella and composer and multi-instrumentalist Chris Hyson will be showcasing it on the night.
Snowpoet’s acclaimed eponymous debut, released in 2016, won rave reviews and a devoted audience, drawing comparisons with Bjork.
The self-penned tunes confirm Lauren and Chris’ growing sense of identity as a writing partnership, a progression that’s evident in the confidence with which they approach the two covers on the album - Dear Someone by Gillian Welch and Snow by Emilíana Torrini.
Featuring saxophonist Josh Arcoleo, guitarist Nick Costley-White, Matt Robinson on piano and Dave Hamblett on drums, Snowpoet has produced an album of songs from a full-spectrum colour palette sustained and illuminated by supreme levels of musicianship.
Next month, on April 19, they perform as part of the Jazzlines project at the Hare & Hounds, High Street, Kings Heath, Birmingham. Doors open at 8pm and tickets, costing £12, can be bought here.
