Doors 7:30pm, Show 8:00pm

Hailing from the Scottish highlands, Rachel Sermanni is an enchanting singer-songwriter, whose performance and lyrics draw from a deep well of mysticism, dreams, nature and the simple-complex experience of being human. A contemporary folk musician influenced by a wealth of genres including jazz, rock, old-time and traditional.

Rightly described by critics as a “Folk noir gem” (MOJO), “Stately, poetic” (CLASH) and “Folk of the Highest Order” (Time Out), Rachel Sermanni has been making music for over a decade and has developed her artistic voice over her many releases, each time pushing boundaries and experimenting with different musical textures while maintaining the raw emotional connection, to herself and others, that defines her music. Her previous work includes the albums Under Mountains (2012), Tied to the Moon (2015) and So It Turns (2019), which was inspired by her time studying & volunteering at a buddhist monastery in the borders of Scotland and was recorded in Berlin. Rachel Sermanni has toured the globe, played alongside artists such as Mumford & Sons, Fink, Ron Sexsmith, John Grant, The Staves, Karine Polwart, The Maes and many more at venues and festivals all over, most recently playing with Charlie Cunningham. She also runs a songwriting workshop called Cultivating A Creative Life and her podcast, Rachel Sermanni’s Finger That Points To The Moon, similarly explores her relationship to creativity and inspiration, with the hope that it will help point in the direction of truth for herself and those listening.

Lewis McLaughlin is a 22-year-old indie singer-songwriter hailing from Leith. Since winning the Glastonbury Emerging Talent Award in 2022 he has been captivating audiences from Hebcelt to Latitude Festival with his powerful performances. Inspired by artists like John Martyn, Bon Iver, and Villagers, Lewis creates soul-stirring melodies and thought-provoking lyrics that resonate with listeners.

His accomplished debut album ‘Feel The Ground You Walk Upon’ is a life-arming listen, one moment will have you misty-eyed, wishing you could hold a pint aloft with your dearest pals and in the next, have you contemplating your most intense personal struggles. All the while Mclaughlin’s warm timbre blazes perpetually, unifying and comforting the lost souls that gather in its glow. https://eartrumpetmusic.co.uk
