A gig on Friday 26th August. The event starts at 19:00pm.
FROGBELLY & SYMPHONY
Frogbelly and Symphony is an international quartet with band members residing in Sheffield UK and Brooklyn NY. Since 2013, the band has toured the US, UK, Ireland and Europe repeatedly. Their first full length album 'Blue Bright Ow Sleep' (Labelship UK 2015) received numerous reviews from independent music press outlets and blogs.
With an experimental approach to production values, the band has been collaborating with Brooklyn producer Martin Bisi. Consequently the music of Frogbelly and Symphony has been tracked at BC Studio in Brooklyn. 'Blue Bright Ow Sleep' was then mixed by Dave Hadley and Martin Smith at The Laundry Rooms Studio in Sheffield.
PHIA
Phia's music is abound with luscious layers of harmonies, rambunctious vocal percussion and vivid pop sensibilities. Raw and affecting lyricism powerfully woven into the hypnotic sound of an instrument made of wood and metal and not much bigger than a postcard! The African kalimba became Phia’s instrument of choice and self-expression.
Phia grew up in Melbourne Australia where she started off working as a session pianist for various projects. In 2011 she bought a one-way ticket to Berlin.
The kalimba and a loop-pedal in the bag, she dared a leap into the unknown that marked the starting point of a musical journey across the world. She played 100s of shows performing her songs almost like a patchwork of images, feelings, memories and reflections. Remote places like bars in Southern Italy or a fisherman’s village in Iceland as well as international festivals in Germany, Poland and elsewhere have since appreciated her talent and brought her a growing audience that has evolved into a loyal fanbase. In search for her ancestral identity she temporarily found a home in Europe, the home of her grandparents.
Doors at 7pm, music at 8pm
