We have a gorgeous double-headline gig for you tonight, as two artists from the worlds of British folk-pop and Americana, respectively, celebrate their different styles as a joint band with double bassist Joe Hughes.My Girl The River
Kris Wilkinson Hughes, aka My Girl the River, is a Louisiana native, now based in the UK after a decade of songwriting in Nashville. She has recently released her third album, Songs About Space, to strong critical acclaim.
As a performer, she is funny, warm and fearless with a sackful of hook-laden songs and a voice of sweet sugared espresso. You might find yourself singing along or shedding a tear on your journey. Love, loss, Louisiana and hot chicken are just some of the stops along the way.
“My Girl The River... a lovely mélange of Americana roots music, brings to mind Jason Isbell and Lucinda Williams”
— Paste Magazine
Serious Child
Serious Child hails from an old beech wood in Sussex, and draws from a range of acoustic influences from folk to pop to bossa nova. His pin-sharp lyrics explore the world around us with a poet’s ear for emotion and a comedian’s eye for everyday detail.
“Serious Child writes about Britain today in a way that is almost tactile… with wit, style, intelligence and bags of melody”
