Tommy Alexander

October 14th

​

The Folklore Rooms

£7 / £9

​

Tommy Alexander is doing it all and doing it all very well. After self-releasing his brilliant alt-Country LP Waves in 2020, Alexander found his record on numerous end of the year lists, including nods from KEXP and Magnet Magazine. By this point it is clear that Alexander has established himself as a facet of the indie music world from his impressive and burgeoning booking agency, Pilot Light Booking, to his own musical outpouring. Alexander pens timeless songs with a powerful and dynamic voice and an evolved grasp on dense and concise lyrical design.

​

Tommy & co. have been fortunate to share the stage with inspiring artists like; Michael McDonald, Big Thief, Chaka Khan, Mac Demarco, Adrianne Lenker, People Under The Stairs, & more..

Katie Malco

November 8th

​

Green Door Store

£8

Armed with only an old telecaster that’s seen better days (played upside down) and her voice, Malco has toured the UK and mainland Europe with the likes of Julien Baker, Jenny Lewis, Fenne Lily, Bob Mould, Dawes, This is the Kit, BC Camplight, The Joy Formidable and more.

 

Malco released her debut album, Failures, via 6131 Records (Julien Baker, Worriers, Macseal, Touché Amoré) on June 5th – a coming of age record that, through soul-baring songwriting and gut-punch guitars, documents Malco’s life growing up and facing adulthood.

 

Malco released first single ‘Creatures’ in late 2019 to praise from Paste Mag, Brooklyn Vegan, CLASH, BBC6 Music, BBC R1, Radio X and Fresh Finds playlist on Spotify.
