Ethereal quirkiness, broody and melancholic, a truly enjoyable debut album'. Singer-Songwriter Sophie Janes performs songs from her stunning debut album 'The Fog' together with some brand new material from her next release. Cinematic pop meets orchestral grandeur; concert piano meets in-your-face voice; Kate Bush, Tori Amos and Lana del Rey meet Einaudi, Howard Shore and Ramin Djawadi.
Sophie Janes is a home-educated singer-songwriter from East Sussex whose first London gig was opening the MBS show at Earls Court after she was spotted by the former Master of Voice at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. Since then she has spent a couple of year crafting her first album, refining her sound and set with gigs in the UK and Germany. The title track from the album was used globally in the SKY Formula 1 coverage of both the Italian and USA Grand Prix, and Sophie has been offered her own official artist showcases 2 years running at the prestigious SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. Sophie is deep into writing and recording for her second album so be ready to hear one or two exclusives.
This is a rare opportunity to see Sophie Janes live in 2016 so book your seat early!'
