Showcasing the best in Country and Americana songwriting talent from across the UK and beyond, the Radio City Sessions are limited-audience events which take you behind the scenes of the songwriting process. Discover the stories behind the songs, get insights into the songwriting craft, and then hear the songs in the most ‘country’ way possible – a guitar and a vocal.The songwriters' round is a staple of the Nashville music scene, and the Radio City Sessions capture the intimacy of those events, enabling you, the listener, to discover the stories behind the songs. Each artist performs their own music (whether this has been released under their own name or written for another performer) as well as a cover song that has a particular meaning for them.
Between each song, the artists will tell their stories, exploring their songwriting process and chatting with the other artists on the stage. There will be laughter, there will be fun and there may also be some tears!
This limited-audience event will once again bring the magic of country music to life in Chelmsford, set in the quirky surroundings of Chelmsford's best live music venue, Hot Box.
Luke Flear
Luke Flear is an award winning UK Country Rock Artist, Singer-Songwriter and Multi Instrumentalist. From rich, raspy vocals and roaring guitar solos to acoustic deep cuts and piano ballads, Luke is roots-rock at its finest.
Born in Leeds, Luke has performed across Europe since the age of 15, and made his move into the Country Music Scene during the summer of 2022. He has since supported Nashville and UK based artists, taken to the stages of major UK Country Festivals and venues, as well as songwriter rounds and Americana events across 2023.
In 2024, Luke supported Drake Milligan on his sold out UK tour, and made his debut at landmark events such as C2C in London’s 02 Arena and the Black Deer Festival. His classic showmanship style has earned him spots on line ups alongside Sheryl Crow, Brad Paisley, Joe Bonamassa and more.
Through the songwriting, instrumental virtuosity and natural love for the stage, Flear is among many others bound to change the UK's relationship with the genre. Every instrument you hear on Luke's record is played and produced by him, with the debut album 'Looks Country To Me' exploring countless themes of ambition, addiction, love and hate in true singer-songwriter style.
Winning “Song of the year” and “Male Singer of the year” at the 2023 UK Country Radio awards, Luke Flear is set to take on the challenge of conquering Country music in Britain and beyond.
