The Grey Lady Music Lounge, Wednesday 21st March 2018
This is a past event.
Headline Act: Ryan Weeks
Starting to play guitar and sing at the age of twenty, originally buying his first guitar as a distraction from doing college assignments, Ryan is quickly making a name for himself in the local music scene , mixing soul, R&B, indie folk and country.
Hailing from southborough this local singer will have you moving your feet and dancing along. Singing popular covers, chart and his own soulful songs, Ryan weeks is definitely a name to remember.
He's usually found gigging at venues in Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells, on a one-man mission to prove that Kent has soul. So come along and have a great time listening and dancing along to the soulful tones of Ryan Weeks.
The Secret Crowd
The Secret Crowd are a fun and lively four piece from North Kent, playing a mix of feel-good, pop/ rock originals and covers. Straight from playing a range of popular venues across the capital this summer, including the iconic ‘water rats’ and a headline slot at New Cross’ ‘Amersham Arms’, the group look forward to play some more local venues towards the latter part of 2017.
Their line up consists of Sophie, as lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Jack on bass, Grace on keyboard, ukulele and trumpet and Matt playing drums. Their sound provides a depth of versatility, from relaxed acoustic settings, to energetic and upbeat ambiences, guaranteed to captivate any audience.
To end 2017, the 4 piece have started recorded their recent EP, with Keston Cobblers Frontman, Matt Lowe and hope to release this in the near future!
Chasing Shadows
Leo&Tingley are Chasing Shadows, a newly formed acoustic duo from East Sussex. Charlotte Tingley can most often be found at her piano, performing heart-rending covers and originals and covers. Her gentle, melodious tones can turn to powerful ballards in a moment. When not doing music, Charlotte's passion is in film, while finding the time to manage an independent cinema in St Leonards, Kino-Teatr. Leo Snook is a reformed rocker who has returned to his folk and acoustic roots in the last few years. Main guitarist for the band, he combines rock, folk and jazz influences into his playing and singing. His writing is almost exclusively sad songs about the sea. Their joint sound is still very new, but they hope to win crowds over with their unique sound, blend of styles and sides enjoyment of what Chasing Shadows do.
Gronk
Raised by pack animals in the south, Gronk was subsequently stationed in the Home Counties where he studied for A-Levels in navelgazing before escaping to London. He found moderate success with gothic psych-rock band Carnival of Souls in the early noughties, before meeting near-indifference at a handful of solo gigs in Brixton. A trip to the US followed, during which he discovered the marimba and returned to form the Body Doubles, a shambolic rock 'n' roll act currently limping around London's sawdust venues. Gronk writes folk and rock songs bolstered by a healthy dose of gallows humour, and appears tonight with Body Doubles lead guitarist Claud "the musket" Musker.
