The Grey Lady Music Lounge, Wednesday 27th May 2015

Freddy Green has been performing around Kent since 2009 and writing music for what he would describe as the most significant years of his life. As a largely self taught musician he takes his influence from a range of artists including Ben Howard, Justin Vernon, John Mayer and Ray Lamontagne, but his varying taste in genres of music brings out a unique sound reflected into his own. Amongst other things, Freddy has performed at "Barn On The Farm Festival" with artists such as King Charles, Ben Howard and Ed Sheeran. Freddy's sole aim in life is that he can go through it happily with music at the centre, one way or another.

Following those few years of excellent progress with song-writing and gigs, he put together a band of musicians, adding various colours and textures to the music and providing sensitive, intelligent ideas whilst maintaining the feel of Freddy's roots, glorious songwriting and inventive lyrics. Combined together the band have a very exstensive gigging record, ranging from your local pub all the way to soho's "Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club", filling in all the gaps in-between!

"A band that is a shining example of Indie-Folk music...Beautifully crafted songs, that build wonderfully into sublime anthems..." - Absent Kelly

"These young lads are very obviously going places..."

Whether turning his hand to the studio or the stage, it can be hard to pin Jono Harrison down. It is fair to say that he lives and breathes music in a way that borders on obsession.

Formerly a session musician playing in various bands around London, a mystifying back injury forced him to put away his guitar for nearly two years. He taught himself recording techniques, and delved into albums such as Jeff Buckley’s ‘Grace’ and Nick Drake’s harrowing ‘Pink Moon’. Upon recovering, he set about writing own song ideas and recording demos, playing dingy bars around London and Brighton to whoever would listen. Six years on, he signed a deal with boutique label ‘Which Wolf Wins’ and released his eponymous debut album.

Jono subsequently toured the US and and the UK. He co-founded a 28 piece orchestra and joined 80s legends Cutting Crew on keyboard duties, all the while producing other acts and quietly writing in his home studio. As he gathers up influences from wherever he lays his hat, including electronica, trip-hop or post-punk - Jono has been developing a wider, beat-driven sound, soaked in warm synthesisers and chiming guitars, moving on from his former acoustic leanings but still embracing his love of heart-warming melodies.
