The Grey Lady Music Lounge, Wednesday 1st February 2012
This is a past event.
Headline Act: Logan Wilson
Local singer/songwriter; Logan Wilson's recently released album entitled ‘Geography' is described by Andy Gunton of Hastings Rock as "one of the best locally-produced albums I've ever heard", praising its "high level of musicianship". Geography harks back to the carefree days of summer, though in no way shies away from the darker side of life. Born in South Africa and currently living in East Sussex, Logan is actively giging up and down the country with his band comprised of Steve Hope (keys), Simon Shaw (guitar/vocals), Sacha Trochet (percussion/vocals) and Matt Novis (bass guitar/vocals) at numerous prominent venues and festivals. Logan continues to enjoy regular airplay and live sessions on BBC Radio 2 on both the Janice Long and Terry Wogan shows and is on the cusp of signing to a major label. Influences include Paul Simon & Neil Finn.
Bea Everett
Bea Everett is a 21 year old singer songwriter from Tunbridge Wells. She completed her BA Hons in Professional Musicianship at BIMM Brighton in June 2015, and has since been travelling, busking, and started her own Personalised Songwriting business (Beaspoke DesignerSong).
Bea started writing music at the age of 12 and has been performing at The Grey Lady and other venues since the age of 14. Her main musical influences include songwriters such as Joni Mitchell, KT Tunstall, Norah Jones and Katie Melua, but her music is mostly inspired by the people she meets and revelations that come from everyday life.
Bea’s first EP, “The Woods” is available to stream and buy online from various stores such as iTunes and Spotify.
Dylan Brown
Drawing influence from songwriters such as Perfume Genius and Shoes and Socks Off, as well as aspects of folk and classical music, Dylan Brown creates honest and expressive songs, aiming to convey emotion using unconventional structures and lyrics. Since learning piano and guitar and getting used to his own voice, he has been experimenting with and writing music for the best part of three years.
With over sixty completed songs and an eclectic array of instruments, he takes a DIY approach to recording and composing, attempting to create music that reflects an unaltered singular vision. Autumn 2011 has seen him self-release two records, album ‘Odds/Ends’ and EP ‘Scraps’, both of which were entirely created in his bedroom. Having played a few shows locally he is now eager to progress as both a writer and a performer.
Nick John Wilson
Born with left side Microtia, Nick picked up the guitar from his folk playing parents when he was seven years old.
His uncle played drums with Suzi Quatro in the seventies, so music has always run in the family.
Nick started to sing and produce his own songs at eighteen having honed his blues, rag finger style and soulful rocky tones.
He ran a studio for three years and in 2013, now with time to focus on himself as an artist, released his debut EP followed by his debut album early 2015.
Nick aims to be out and about more than he ever has been, to promote himself, record label, charities and good music. More info online.
