The Grey Lady Music Lounge, Sunday 29th July 2018
This is a past event.
Headline Act: Emily Izen Row
‘Multi-talented’ and ‘singing from the soul’ are a couple of the comments recently applied to this young singer songwriter from Kent. Emily’s musical influences span a wide variety of genres and artists from Lana Del Rey and Fleetwood Mac, to Frank Ocean and Hans Zimmer. Emily’s music has both an ethereal and expansive feel and she is constantly inspired to develop her unique sound using her classical piano and voice training along with self-taught guitar skills. She has been writing songs since she was thirteen and her passion for songwriting grows with each achievement. Emily now studies music at Goldsmiths University and lives in South East London, where she is further developing her songwriting and enjoying collaborating with other musicians. She is always in the studio, rehearsing with her band, and looking for new venues in which to perform. Following the success of her debut EP Sirens and releasing tracks on iTunes, Emily is working on her second EP and is looking for music management. Sirens EP out now and on iTunes.
Megan Jordan
Meg Jordan is an 18 year old singer-songwriter who has been performing live for the last 3 or 4 years. Her performance experience ranges from gigs in cafés and pubs to weddings and private functions. Meg has been writing her own music since she began teaching herself the guitar and now has an album worth of her own songs which she is hoping to record in the coming year. Others have described her song-writing as humerous and relatable with a unique edge which makes her music recognisable. As well as playing the guitar she often accompanies herself on the piano and as well as this is a talented violinist, which she incorporates in her recorded work more than her live performaces (for now). Currently studying at Loughborough University, Meg is now performing outside of the southeast, hoping to develop her skills as a performer to a wider audience.
