'My Girl The River' and 'Serious Child' (+ local support: Annown)

Event Information

My Girl The River & Serious Child

Two brilliant artists from the worlds of Americana and British folk-pop join forces with double bassist Joe Hughes in a celebration of what brings them together.

'Serious Child'
“I am about to utter the most fearsome words in folk,” says Alan Young, aka Serious Child. “This is a song about my grandmother … it’s a singalong” – Arts Republic
Serious Child hails from an old beech wood in Sussex, and draws from a range of acoustic influences from folk to pop to bossa nova. His pin-sharp lyrics explore the world around us with a poet’s ear for emotion and a comedian’s eye for everyday detail.
“writes about Britain today in a way that is almost tactile… with wit, style, intelligence and bags of melody” ★★★★★ Spiral Earth

'My Girl The River'
Kris Wilkinson Hughes aka My Girl the River is a Louisiana native, now based in the UK after a decade of songwriting in Nashville. She has recently released her third album, Songs About Space, to strong critical acclaim.
As a performer, she is funny, warm and fearless with a sackful of hook laden songs and a voice of sweet sugared espresso. You might find yourself singing along or shedding a tear on your journey. Love, loss, Louisiana and Hot Chicken are just some of the stops along the way.
“A lovely mélange of Americana Roots music brings to mind Jason Isbell and Lucinda Williams…. exceptional songwriting” ★★★★ Paste Magazine
