Join us as we celebrate the Troubadour's storied legacy of breaking emerging songwriters with a crop of some of the finest talent around. This week featuring:
Stead
Stead is a musician of the old traditions. A singer songwriter and crafter of elegant, lo-fi songs that seem to fuse soulful folk, pop, Mediterranean vibes and underground, understated lounge jazz with healthy disregard for convention. Lilting ballads filled with romanticism, disarming honesty and wistful philosophy born of the experience of life.
Avery Florence
She has the voice of an angel, matched with soulful yet haunting melodies and lyrics. Avery Florence always connects to an audience with her sense of humour and genuine persona. She has been compared to Norah Jones soft quality with Dolly Parton's twang.
Rob Godfrey
Dark acoustic love songs with a jazz influence.
Wednesday 22 June: Soundcheque's Que the Music Earth, Wind & Fire's Mo Pleasure will be joined by special "surprise" guests for a showcase of original music and film covers. Doors open at 8:00.
Taylor, Madison and Logan Cain are not only singers and songwriters, but also multifaceted entertainers and musicians who play guitar, piano, bass, harmonica and more. It all started when eldest sibling, Taylor, learned her first song on the piano at 5 years old and, a few years later, began teaching her younger siblings to sing harmony with her. A few years of practice and three college degrees later, the group has banded together as The Cains to write, record and release their own original music. Meaghan Blanchard is a gifted guitarist with her own blend of light claw hammer/finger picking style; paired with a crystal pure voice and a unique ability to write and tell stories through charming character driven songs. Friday 24 June: Echo Parade | Hazel Iris
Echo Parade are an up and coming indie rock band based in North London. They have surf influences infused with garage rock with bands such as JAWS, Bombay Bicycle Club and the Districts at the forefront of their influences.
Having signed to Marvellous Records, Californian singer/songwriter Hazel Irisplays Quirky, Folky IndiePop. This unique sound has already been gaining Hazel Iris attention and not just on the London circuit. In the last year Hazel has featured in a number of magazines including Music Week and Headliner Magazine and also on a number of radio stations including Radio X Frankfurt and WRFL.FM USA. She studied opera as a soprano in Germany but it was her move to London that gave birth to her far from conventional sound drawing her influences from other female artists such as Björk, Fiona Apple, Tracey Thorn and Feist.
