This is a past event.
Headline Act: Bea Everett
Bea Everett is a 21 year old singer songwriter from Tunbridge Wells. She completed her BA Hons in Professional Musicianship at BIMM Brighton in June 2015, and has since been travelling, busking, and started her own Personalised Songwriting business (Beaspoke DesignerSong).
Bea started writing music at the age of 12 and has been performing at The Grey Lady and other venues since the age of 14. Her main musical influences include songwriters such as Joni Mitchell, KT Tunstall, Norah Jones and Katie Melua, but her music is mostly inspired by the people she meets and revelations that come from everyday life.
Bea’s first EP, “The Woods” is available to stream and buy online from various stores such as iTunes and Spotify.
TYN
týn has been performing regularly at The Grey Lady since 2008 and before that with local band ‘the magd’. Originally a duo, Tracey (vocals and guitar) and Anthony (keyboards) were joined by Mark on percussion in 2010.
Their music is mainly acoustic, sometimes spare and stripped out and sometimes intricately arranged but always personal and intimate and performed with passion. Between them, týn has a few decades worth of classical and modern influences; which have left their mark on what you hear now. They have covered songs by Guns N’ Roses, Eva Cassidy, Damien Rice, Cole Porter and Muse, to name a few…
One of Tracey and Anthony’s recent projects was writing, recording and producing a contemporary musical about Mary Magdalene. ‘Rest In You’ which was performed at Trinity Theatre, Tunbridge Wells in April 2011. A CD of the songs is available and the script and score will be published later in the year.
týn continues to work on their albums of original songs and covers and hopes you will continue to support their musical projects.
Steve Hewitt
My name is Steve Hewitt, I'm 29years old, and I'm a singer/singer songwriter based in Edenbridge, Kent.
My love of music came about after listening to Buddy Holly when I was 14, but my approach to music changed drastically when I heard David Gray's White Ladder for the first time; that's when I put the electric guitar down and bought my first acoustic guitar and started to write.
My aim has always been to write lyrics that have meaning and purpose that the listener can relate to and empathise with.
To best describe my genre, it would be acoustic soul pop, with hints of
blues/folk and indie.
My main influences started at the already mentioned
Buddy Holly, on to David Gray, Bob Dylan, John Legend and Fink.
Georgia Bickerton
I have been playing guitar and piano to accompany myself singing for about 5 years, and more recently picking up the ukulele. In the past I have been mostly playing at school and concentrating on covers, which allowed me to work on my piano and guitar skills. Since leaving school I have found time to really focus on my song writing, both solo and with other projects. Words have never been my strong point although I’ve found songs and lyrics developing surprisingly naturally throughout the past year. I’m looking forward to pushing my writing and performing abilities further in the next couple of years.
