ABOUT AMELIA COBURN
Her acclaimed debut album Between The Moon And the Milkman, produced by Bill Ryder-Jones, showcases her as a truly singular voice in the world of music.
Unbound by one mood or modern trends she pairs daring but instantly memorable melodies with unusual chord movements and exquisite arrangements. Populated by the people and places she has encountered on her global travels and in the darker corners of literature and art Amelia views her songs as a soundtrack to her stream-of-consciousness, “opening up new paths, new clearings and new valleys with every listen”.
Her distinctive, crystal-cut vocal delivery and expressive stage persona has captivated audiences far and wide. Whether headlining sell-out solo tours or sharing the stage with esteemed acts as diverse as Saint Saviour, The Trials of Cato, or the late Steve Harley, her “beguiling stage presence” continues to earn her fans from across the musical spectrum.
Having graced stages both as a solo artist and, more recently and increasingly, with a full band at prestigious events such as Cambridge Folk Festival, Focus Wales, Reeperbahn Showcase and Wilderness Festival, as well as various other festivals across Europe (France, Belgium, Germany and Finland), Coburn's magnetic performances never fail to earn her new fans. A finalist in the BBC Young Folk Awards and most recently awarded Tees Valley Artist of the year, she continues to impress and grow at a grassroots and industry level.
With her album charting in the UK and recent national airplay from BBC Radio 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6Music, as well as support from BBC Scotland and Ireland's BBC Ulster and RTÉ1, Coburn can count the likes of pundits Mark Radcliffe and Tom Robinson as fans, as well as musicians Paul Weller, Paul Heaton and David Gedge of The Wedding Present.
Amelia returns to touring in 2025 opening for Jim Moray on his UK tour and for four dates with indie-folk legends The Levellers as well as a headline tour in May / June where she will give glimpses of new material that may make up her second album.
