We are delighted to welcome Chris Brain to perform his debut gig at Temperance. With the wonderful Zoe Cure in support. Not to be missed!
We are looking forward to welcoming Chris Brain to play his debut gig at Temperance as part of a solo national tour to promote his much-anticipated third album 'New Light'. WIth the brilliant Zoe Cure in support, this promises to be another wonderful evening in the company of two hugely talented young musicians.
Yorkshire’s Chris Brain has carved his place firmly into the contemporary folk scene following his highly-regarded first two albums, Bound to Rise (2022) and Steady Away (2023).
Garnering acclaim from the likes of Cerys Matthews (BBC 6 Music) and Mark Radcliffe (BBC Radio 2), he has since shared the stage with iconic acts like Robert Plant, Jacqui McShee and Martin Simpson.
With the release of his third much-anticipated album, ‘New Light’, in Spring 2025, he will be embarking on a UK/Ireland solo tour. ‘New Light’ brings a refreshingly contemporary sound as Chris contemplates transformation, nostalgia and tenderness in times of vulnerability - all woven around his familiar gestures towards the natural world.
A dynamic layering of instrumentation, from sublimely-deployed strings to dappling piano and rhythmic percussion are perfectly wrapped around Brain’s honeyed vocals, anchoring fingerpicked guitar and persuasive melodies.
Recorded in various locations, from his allotment shed to The Nave Studios, ‘New Light’ embodies the expanded parameters that his sound has reached. Both intimate and expansive, ‘New Light’ expresses a surety of Chris Brain’s song-writing abilities with the album’s imagery and melodies dwelling long after the music ends.
‘There are shades of the master Ralph Mctell here and I can think of no greater compliment than that…Love it!’ - Mark Radcliffe , BBC 2 Folk Show
