The Pioneers
The Pioneers is an acoustic duo made up of George Halliwell and Dan Dearlove, who combine strong harmonies with memorable melodies and lyrics in an exciting and feel-good sound. They first formed in 2011 and have been writing and gigging ever since, refining their sound and blending influences from pop, folk, country and rock. They recorded their self-titled E.P. in 2014 and are currently working on their second release. Both George and Dan also constitute two out of the three members of the band ‘Catching Mangoes’ who regularly play in venues and bars in Brighton and Hove.
Resonate
Resonate is made up of singer/songwriter, Meya Rein and session guitarist and vocalist, Stuart Evans.
Merging their musical passions, and love of harmonies, these two musicians bring their own acoustic and jazzy flavour to popular songs from Nina Simone and Frank Sinatra to KT Tunstall and Kings of Leon and 2015 sees them bringing some of their original material in to their set.
Meya Rein has been performing her original songs, as a solo artist, since 2013 and has found that bringing her songs under the Resonate banner has given them a new feel, with many now being guitar led and a few still played on the piano. Driving things forward with various Dep musicians joining the duo, including percussion, saxophone and bass, this year looks set to be energised and inspiring for both Meya and Stuart.
