The December Flowers & Julia Waldron
@ The Dorothy Pax 22nd March
The December Flowers
The soulful, sun-drenched and 60's-inspired folk-rock sound of The December Flowers took seed in 2018, when singer/songwriter Gemma Gray and multi-instrumentalist Joel Robson started recording and performing as a duo on the Sheffield folk circuit. They were joined by Shane Surgey and his Wurlitzer piano after he watched them play songs from their 2019 ‘My Joshua Tree’ EP during that year’s Tramlines Festival in Sheffield. With the addition of drummer Sam Dougherty in 2020, and bassist Ian Swift the following year The December Flowers bloomed into existence. The December Flowers have performed extensively around Yorkshire and the surrounding counties supporting both local and international touring artists. The bands recently released single Demons and Doubt was selected to be discussed at this year’s Americana Music Association conference for their panel on music for TV and film – receiving excellent feedback. Gemma’s vocals have been described as both breathtakingly beautiful and “having gentle vibrato that makes you weak at the knees” – BBC Sheffield
Julia Waldron
Sheffield-based singer/songwriter Julia Waldron has been described as 'The Mae West of Folk and Americana'. Warm, bright, soulful - and as down to earth as they come - she is a well known performer on the city's vibrant live music scene. Playing acoustic guitar and singing her own engaging repertoire of original songs, Julia combines chocolatey warm vocals, northern openness and a bold, comedic style.
