Folklore Sessions Presents; Ben De La Cour + Support 14th April | £12adv The Folklore Rooms | 18+ A natural storyteller, Ben de la Cour's visceral songwriting grabs you by the heart and doesn't let go. Weaving evocative stories of desperate characters with his signature "Americanoir" sound, de la Cour shines a glaring light on the human condition. His latest release, New Roses, received * * * * from MOJO and was named Album of the Month. While Ben's previous album Sweet Anhedonia felt like "the American heartland witnessed through the window of a car going 80mph" (American Songwriter), New Roses feels like being stuffed into the trunk and driven into an imploding star.

The result is a razor-sharp album full of what he calls "night songs"- haunting, impactful songs that feel like the witching hour. In a collection of songs filled with juxtaposition and duality, de la Cour balances doom and optimism, seeking out kernels of hope in the darkness. "A friend took me to see Ben de la Cour at a little hole-in-the-wall in Nashville. […]

Folklore Sessions Presents; Katacombs + Support 22nd April, The Folklore Rooms £15adv | 18+ Katacombs is the name Katerina Kiranos landed on after years of building sculptural furniture of bone and wood. Born in Miami to a Spanish mother and Greek father, she spent the majority of her early life bouncing between multiple cultures and wanting to adapt. The common thread anywhere she landed was her love for music. Piano lessons as a child led to days on end of writing and recording from her makeshift bedroom-studio as a teen, which turned into years of collecting songs- all just to store them away. Though she took a detour career-wise, she continued to play where she could and could never escape the urge to spend every day honing her first true passion. She played keys in a few bands and dabbled in open mics but always ended up feeling best in a dark room, single-handedly curating dramatic and ethereal melodies. Set on finally sharing that part of her world, the one most sacred, she started with a small body of work that embodies a wide range of some of her deeply rooted experiences and influences. "You Will Not", her debut EP, […]
