Event information

Laurel Canyon Music are proud to present an evening of wonderful acoustic music in an intimate and candle-lit venue in the heart of London

Jess Morgan is a songwriter’s songwriter. A cerebral storyteller, her new album is a tumbler of unfancied folk-roots music, with heart, passion and gusto. As well as crafting songs, Jess also hand crafts her own DIY vinyl records. In a recent article The 405 called her “a true DIY artist in her element. Seriously, she does it all.”

When it came for the Norwich-based singer-songwriter to start recording tracks on ‘Edison Gloriette’ Norway was calling. Jess returned to Bergen team-up with collaborators from her 2010 debut, producer HP Gundersen and producer and studio engineer Daniel Birkeland. She wanted to record slowly and meaningfully following a mad 5 years of touring and rapid releases. 2 weeks in a quiet cabin, alongside a fjord on the outskirts of Bergen was just the right change of pace to record Jess’ acutely observed tales of life, love, people and places.

The past 5 years have seen Jess cement her place in the burgeoning folk, roots and Americana scene throughout the UK and Europe. Her music has attracted the ears of BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, Uncut, The Telegraph, The Guardian, R2 and Folk Radio UK, to name a few. Her new album ‘Edison Gloriette’ follows on from 2015 release ‘The Bournemouth EP’ which sold-out its limited edition run in less than 24 hours.

Our special guest on the night is London based composer and singer-songwriter Tom Hartley Booth, who plays guitar and piano. Tom creates pop and folk songs, stories of comedy, philosophy and love. His atmospheric melodies echo across the room, alternating between haunting, emotive and playful but always tinged with beauty, there is always a sense of something special brewing.

Tom released his debut EP ‘Courage’ in 2015.
