The Grey Lady Music Lounge, Sunday 9th June 2019
This is a past event.
Headline Act: Steve Hewitt
My name is Steve Hewitt, I'm 29years old, and I'm a singer/singer songwriter based in Edenbridge, Kent.
My love of music came about after listening to Buddy Holly when I was 14, but my approach to music changed drastically when I heard David Gray's White Ladder for the first time; that's when I put the electric guitar down and bought my first acoustic guitar and started to write.
My aim has always been to write lyrics that have meaning and purpose that the listener can relate to and empathise with.
To best describe my genre, it would be acoustic soul pop, with hints of
blues/folk and indie.
My main influences started at the already mentioned
Buddy Holly, on to David Gray, Bob Dylan, John Legend and Fink.
Rob Smyth
At 19 years old, Rob has been writing and recording songs in his bedroom for the past two years. While studying for his Music production degree, he has started performing at pubs and open mics frequently around Brighton. Rob takes influences from The Kooks, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Metronomy, and Declan Mckenna in his songwriting styles and instrumentation in his recorded music, while performing stripped back versions of his own works live.
Rob has been playing guitar for ten years and singing for two. He currently attends BIMM in Brighton and is in the process of writing and recording more of his own songs. He is aiming to release two songs in January.
Shep!
Shep! is a cowboy sent from an alternative universe to explain the meaning of life. He found the only way to do this effectively was in the form of music – specifically Country BlueGrass Blues.
If you wanna singalong and win a prize here are some choruses:
Snakebite Street, Snakebite Street, snakes walk ‘round on legs and feet
Snakebite Street, Snakebite Street, don’t get bit by the people that you meet
From year to year, from day to day; from dawn to dark, from birth to grave
We are always, we are Always Heading Home
Come along, everybody come along, while the moon is shinin’ bright
Get on board, everybody get on board, we’re gonna Raise a Ruckus tonight
Everybody loves a Rockin’ Man so rock like a man!
Run to the river, as fast as you can, the river is a friend to the running man
Down the River to the Sea, down the river to the sea
Time will carry you and me, down the river to the sea
