Event information
Night River Presents: The Magic Lantern.
A magically intimate micro concert featuring The Magic Lantern and hosted by DG Solaris.
The Magic Lantern is the moniker of singer-songwriter and composer Jamie Doe, an artist blurring the boundaries between folk, jazz and contemporary music. Born in Australia before moving to the UK at 12, The Magic Lantern has released four full length albums and toured the UK, Europe and Australia alongside This Is The Kit, Sam Lee and Alabaster Deplume among others.
His upcoming fifth album ’To Everything A Season’ was written and recorded in the months following his daughters birth and his fathers death six weeks later. In their brief meeting in a dementia nursing home, two ends of the circle of life touched. Of that cathartic moment, Jamie says 'I saw myself in my father, and my daughter in me and I felt joy and grief in overlapping waves, beautiful and complicated, which continue to ripple outward' These songs are my attempt to make sense of this incredible time - ‘A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted’.
The Magic Lantern's live show captures a rich emotional intimacy centred Jamie’s immediately arresting voice and devastating lyrics to craft songs that examine the limitless depth of the human experience.
Don't miss your chance to see this fantastic act perform in the most intimate of venues. Only 30 seats available.
