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.

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.

Sean has also been featured as Acoustic Magazine’s ‘Next Big Thing’. On his latest CD, Mechanism, an experimental album combining various playing styles and genres, Sean has also featured his bass guitar, drums and electric guitar playing alongside his original solo acoustic compositions.

“From harmonics to percussive slapping to agile fretboard dancing, this southpaw knows a thing or two about getting the most sound possible out of his guitar. On his three full-length releases on Bandcamp, the self-taught guitarist shows he isn’t afraid of taking risks.”
